Nitinol shape memory alloy is a biocompatible material that is suitable for biomedical
applications due to its superelasticity, shape memory effect, good corrosion and fatigue …

The one-way and two-way shape memory effects (SMEs) as well as the thermal hysteresis
represent fundamental properties when dealing with the design of detachable and thermally …

In this paper, a three-dimensional phenomenological constitutive model for shape memory
alloys (SMA) is proposed with consideration given to various thermomechanical …

Shape memory alloys (SMA) exhibit the shape memory effect (SME), allowing the alloy
which is upon a cyclic thermal loading to return to its original shape after heating beyond the …

A model for the macroscopic mechanical behavior of rank-1 laminates including two shape
memory alloy (SMA) phases is presented. The model expresses the general behavior of the …

The aim of this investigation is to evaluate the size effects on the nonlinear free vibration of
the sandwich composite microbeam with an extensible shape memory alloy layer in the …

In the present paper a mathematical model able to reproduce the mechanical response of a
shape memory alloy (SMA) helical spring is presented. The proposed model is based on a …

Shape memory alloys (SMAs)—if trained properly—can induce two-way shape memory
effect which is applicable in actuator design using SMAs. In this study, a three-dimensional …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be differentiated into various cell lineages under the
influence of mechano-niche. Inspired by this approach, this study presents a differentiable …

Tensile-compressive asymmetry and the ratcheting effect are two significant characteristics
of shape memory alloys (SMAs) during uniaxial cyclic tests, thus having received substantial …
