Abstract
The present work investigates the hysteretic behaviour of Cu–Zn–Al single crystal submitted to superelastic shear tests. Major symmetric loops were performed within the shear strain limit of the stress-induced martensitic transformation. Minor loops inside the major loops allowed to analyse more closely the hysteretic behaviour of the Cu–Zn–Al single crystal. Experimental results obey most of the phenomenological observations previously established for polycrystalline Ni–Ti shape memory alloys.
