Stress-strain diagram for a self-memory alloy. (I) linear loading at austenitic phase; (II) loading plateau, martensitic phase transformation; (III) rapid linear stress decline on load withdrawal; (IV) unloading plateau, austenitic phase transformation. Comparison parameters of superelastic wire in three-point bending test: maximum load, N; plateau load, N; deflection range, mm.
