Reinforcement unit, for strengthening structural component, is used with pseudo-plastic and shape-memory material, and is activated on damage or overload occurring during from martensitic to austenitic condition

摘要

Reinforcement unit (1) is used with a pseudo-plastic shape-memory material (2). The unit is activated on damage or overload at the structural component, when the shape-memory material changes from a martensitic to an austenitic condition. The reinforcement unit can be activated by heat.
