Experimental investigation on the debonding strength in shape memory alloy wire reinforced polymers

ABSTRACT The interfacial shear strength between the shape memory alloy (SMA) wire and epoxy matrix was evaluated experimentally using a single wire pull-out test. Moreover, the effect of pre-strain in SMA wires on the interfacial behavior was studied by pre-straining the SMA wires to 2% and 4% pre-strains. Experiments were conducted in both martensite and austenite phases of SMA. Results showed that pre-straining SMA wire in the martensite phase caused enhancement in interfacial shear strength due to recovery force generation. Further, 9.7% and 33% improvements in the interfacial shear strength were achieved at 2% and 4% of SMA pre-strain, respectively. However, the enhancement of interface behavior did not occur, when the SMA wires were subjected to pre-strain in the austenite phase.
