Abstract

An interleaved composite which exhibits shape memory capability controlled by heating has been developed. Trials of this material have been conducted to investigate the potential of using the interleaved composite for deployable structures. This paper reports on an investigation of the shape memory performance of a deployable spring made of the interleaved composite in tension. It is shown that the spring was easily re-shaped to a straight shape with little force and exhibited an excellent shape recovery (99.5%) upon re-heating. This spring may be suitable as a shape memory actuator for space applications.
