Abstract
Adaptive or smart hybrid composites consisting of a polymer matrix reinforced by aramid fibres and incorporating pre-strained Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) wires are able to tune some of their properties, such as their shape, the natural vibration frequency or the damping coefficient, in response to an external stimulus. The functional properties of these systems are directly related to the reversible martensitic transformation in the SMA elements. In this work the transformational behaviour of both free SMA wires and SMA wires embedded in polymer matrix is investigated by means of DSC. The martensitic transformation of the constrained wires is impeded by the polymer matrix, while the interface integrity plays a crucial role.
