AB - A recently developed Velcro-like fastener utilizes superelastic deformation of twointerlocked NiTi hooks when pulled apart. This work focuses on experimentalanalysis (evaluation of normal detachment force at different temperatures) andmodeling (simulation by a finite element implemented SMA model) of theunhooking process. It is claimed that nonlinear superelastic deformation of NiTileads to unique properties of the NiTi hook fasteners such as high strength (15000 kg m  2), a significant increase of strength with increasing temperature, absorption of impactloads, damping of mechanical vibrations, forceless contact or silent release and betterfunctioning in dirty environments compared to conventional Velcro fasteners.
