dc.description.abstract	The working characteristics of a shape memory alloy element providing either sensor or actuator capability is specified by the beginning and/or completion temperatures of the actuation (Le. austenitic start and finish temperatures and martensitic start and finish temperatures), the working actuator stroke (i.e. load induced twinned=:>de-twinned martensitic phase transformation also known as quasi-plastic deformation), and the working actuator force (provided by the temperature induced de-twinned martensite	en_US
