Pseudoelasticity and the shape memory effect (SME) due to martensitic transformation and
reorientation of polycrystalline shape memory alloy (SMA) materials are modeled using a …

A selective laser melting (SLM)-fabricated NiTi with superior tensile property and shape
memory recoverability was obtained by using a unique stripe rotation scanning strategy. The …

Caloric effects are currently under intense study due to the prospect of environment-friendly
cooling applications. Most of the research is centred on large magnetocaloric effects and …

We demonstrate the variation in thermal hysteresis with increasing external stress for
reversible martensitic transformations. The hysteresis was measured in temperature cycling …

The second part of this two-part paper summarizes work on the micromechanical modeling
of polycrystalline shape memory alloys (SMAs). Averaging micromechanics methods based …

Since the beginning of the nineties, shape memory alloys (SMA) have become available for
microsystems technology. Currently the breadth of research and development activities on …

Several alloy systems can be selected for high-temperature shape memory alloys (HTSMA)
with stable transformation temperatures above 390K. However, due to the lack of minimum …
