This study demonstrates the potential of single-crystalline Cu–Al–Mn shape memory alloys (SMAs) for use as smart actuators in deployable thermal radiators, aiming to reduce …
The presence of intermetallic compounds (IMCs) on the microstructure of some Cu-based materials, such as shape memory alloys and nickel-aluminum bronzes, affects their …
Full-field measurement methods allow their users to capture displacement/strain fields during experiments. They are well established in the experimental mechanics community …
