SMAnalytics - Software for the Automated Analysis, Summary, and Reporting of Shape Memory Alloy Tests(LEW-20278-1)

This software describes a new program for automated analysis, summarizing, and reporting of shape memory alloy (SMA) test data. The current version allows automated and standardized analysis of data from standardized test methods pertinent to shape memory alloys: ASTM E3097 Uniaxial Constant Force Thermal Cycling (UCFTC), ASTM E3098 Uniaxial Pre-Strain and Thermal Free Recovery (UPFR), and ASTM F2004 Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). The software allows analysis of variants of these methods, such as multi-cycle, multi-stress UCFTC and UPFR. The program allows for extraction of multiple properties including transformation temperatures, transformation and residual strains, strain recovery, and other related properties. It allows automated and uniform generation of specified material property reports which could be used by material suppliers or test labs for certification documents. In addition, it allows exporting of the complete summarized material test data which can then be imported into the NASA Shape Memory Material Database.
