A pyrotechnic release of the thermally activated shape memory materials for selectively altering a structural and / or mechanical property of a vehicle element

摘要

An element of the vehicle generally comprises a thermally activated shape memory material is in operative connection with a pyrotechnic device. The pyrotechnic device is used for this purpose, a dimension, a form, a change in orientation, an elasticity module property change or a combination with at least one of the properties of the shape memory material to be changed, which leads to a structural and / or mechanical change in the leads of a vehicle.
