Metallic biomaterials are used in medical devices in humans more than any other family of
materials. The corrosion resistance of an implant material affects its functionality and …

NiTi is an increasingly applied material in industrial applications. However, the difficulties
faced when welding and joining is required, limits its broader use in the production of …

This paper explored the seismic behaviour of self-centring hybrid-steel-frame (SC-HSF)
employing energy dissipation sequences and the corresponding inelastic seismic demand …

Abstract Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) are a new generation of smart materials with the
capability of recovering their predefined shape after experiencing a large strain. This is …

This study proposes a new type of self-centering damper equipped with novel buckling-
restrained superelastic shape memory alloy (SMA) bars. The new solution aims to address …

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 …

In civil engineering, beam structures such as bridges require reinforcement to increase load-
bearing capacity and extend service life due to damage, aging, and capacity degradation …

Super-elastic shape memory alloys (SMAs) are widely used to mitigate seismic responses of
engineering structures because of their self-centring and energy dissipation characteristics …

This study explores the effectiveness of shape-memory-alloy (SMA)-based self-centring
energy-dissipation bays (SCEDBs) for enhancing the seismic performance of high-strength …

An extensive investigation of the international literature is carried out regarding the passive
energy dissipation systems and more specifically the dampers that can be positioned in …
