Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) are unique materials that exhibit shape ... micromechanical phenomena, and macroscopic responses. One of the primary areas of focus is to better understand the evolution of ...

These two key elements enable the author to introduce the main features associated with the behavior of shape-memory alloys (SMAs), i.e. the one-way shape-memory effect, pseudo-elasticity, training ...

Lennon's team had been able to 3D-print nitinol with what's known as two-way shape memory, in which the alloy can be heated and cooled to alternate between two remembered shapes. With critical ...
