Feasibility screening for Shape Memory Alloy programs
Record the temperature, stroke, and load the concept requires.Show the evidence you have, and the test that is still required.A Screening Record you can take into design review.
A feasibility assessment records whether an SMA concept is ready for deeper spend, testing, or review. The record supports judgment. It is not a certification.
