Shape-memory alloy rings as tight couplers between ultrahigh-vacuum pipes: Design and experimental assessment

The ultrahigh-vacuum (UHV) coupling performance of NiTiNb shape memory alloy (SMA) rings was investigated by finite element (FE) simulations and experimental measurements. The contact pressure at the interface between the SMA ring and the vacuum pipe was measured and good agreements with the FE resu...
