Abstract
The two-way shape memory effect is expected as unique mechanical property for new engineering applications of shape memory alloys such as micro actuators. The two-way shape memory effect occurs by giving internal stress field to shape memory alloys. The mechanical loading training is the method to give internal stress field. The mechanism of the two-way shape memory behavior have not been understood yet. In this study, the two-way shape memory behavior obtained by the mechanical loading training was investigated experimentally. The obtained results are presented and discussed in this paper.
