Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Anglais)

This project, for the first time, aims at development of mechanical couplers made of iron-based shape memory alloy. These new couplers simplify the process of connecting/extending steel rebars, which are used on construction sides for bridges and buildings and involve cost-intensive manual works.
