A recently developed Velcro-like fastener utilizes superelastic deformation of two interlocked NiTi hooks when pulled apart. This work focuses on experimental analysis (evaluation of normal detachment force at different temperatures) and modeling (simulation by a finite element implemented SMA model) of the unhooking process. It is claimed that nonlinear superelastic deformation of NiTi leads to unique properties of the NiTi hook fasteners such as high strength (∼15 000 kg m − 2), a significant increase of strength with increasing temperature, absorption of impact loads, damping of mechanical vibrations, forceless contact or silent release and better functioning in dirty environments compared to conventional Velcro fasteners.
