METHOD OF CONTROLLING SHAPE RECOVERY FORCE OF INTELLECTUAL MATERIAL AND INTELLECTUAL MATERIAL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of controlling the shape recovery force of an intellectual material which can effectively control and repair damage of the base material, e.g. a composite material, over a wide range of surrounding temperatures from low to high temperatures to which the composite panel is exposed and an intellectual material obtained thereby.;SOLUTION: The method comprises detecting the surrounding temperature to which the composite panel is exposed and electrifying and heating a SMA wire according to the surrounding temperature detected. An intellectual material suitable for the method is also provided.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
