In recent years shape memory alloys (SMAs) have gained significant attention as potential
damping device materials. This article presents an extensive review of the damping …

Abstract Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) are smart materials that involve a transition from the
martensitic phase to the austenitic phase when induced by a change in temperature or …

In recent years, superelastic alloys have become a current research hotspot due to the large
recoverable deformation, which far exceeds the elastic recovery. This will create more …

Transforming a 3D-printed part into a pre-programmed shape over time is called four-
dimensional (4D) printing. Shape memory alloy (SMA) is most commonly used material for …

An increasing number of studies on shape memory alloys (SMAs) have shown anomalous
temperature dependence of superelasticity, ie, the superelastic stress with temperature …

Mechanical spectroscopy techniques and internal friction measurements have historically
offered a key contribution to the understanding of fundamental mechanisms of defects …

This study examines the influence of precipitates on the cyclic behavior of submicron-thick
NiTi and NiTiCu thin films by conducting tensile and fatigue experiments. X-ray diffraction …

The results from preliminary investigations on the mechanical properties and damping
behaviour of Cu-32Zn-10Sn-xNi alloys (where x= 0.2 and 0.4) for potential application as …

The effect of thermal quenching procedures on the damping properties of Cu-Zn-Sn-based
SMAs is reported. Three compositions of Cu-Zn-Sn-based SMAs designated A (Cu-15.6 Zn …

Shape memory alloys exhibit strong damping capacity owing to the formation and motion of
internal interfaces during the hysteretic superelastic response. Here, we report large …
