possibility of using thermo-mechanical reverse transformer made of a shape memory alloy in railway rolling-stock emergency brake systems
Computational techniques for stress distribution and deformation in cylindrical or circular solids made of shape memory alloy under thermo-elastic martensitic transition are proposed in the case of arbitrary thermo-elastic response. Applicability of the mentioned techniques to establish steady-state and long-term conditions for a new emergency brake construction of the railway rolling-stock with cylindrical thermo-mechanical reverse transformer made of a shape memory alloy is demonstrated.
