Experimentelle Methoden zur Untersuchung von Formgedächtnis-Based Elastocaloric Kühlprozesse und Modellvalidierung

Experimental methods for investigation of solid state cooling processes and characterization of elastocaloric material properties of Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) are presented. A custom-built test rig has been designed for controlling and comprehensive monitoring of elastocaloric cooling processes. Furthermore, it provides a validation platform for thermomechanically coupled modeling approaches.
