  By Dhanalaxmi Ananthula, K. Kishore, P. Usha Sri, Bala Narasimha Guniputi

  Abstract: This research investigated the potential of the Cu-11.95Al-0.51Be shape memory alloy (SMA) for vibration damping applications. This specific composition of the alloy was selected to ensure the presence of the austenite phase (ß-phase) and to evaluate the pseudo-elastic (SE) behavior. This research explores the design, fabrication, and characterization of a pseudo-elastic ternary alloy. The key parameters examined in this study were the alloy phase and pseudo-elastic behavior. Other important factors, …
