Shape memory alloys (SMAs) show a particular behavior that is the ability to recuperate the original shape while heating above specific critical temperatures (shape memory effect) or to …
Wire and arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) technology was used for the fabrication of NiTiTa (2.5 at.% Ta) shape memory alloys (SMAs) for the first time, using commercialy …
Constitutive models for shape memory alloys have seen significant development in the last decades. They have evolved from uniaxial, mostly empirical, relations to full-fledged …

The uniaxial behavior of a nearly equiatomic NiTi alloy is studied experimentally. Experiments are conducted in a temperature and deformation regime in which the alloy …
In this work, cyclic tension-unloading tests with different peak strains (10%-18%) in the temperature range from 313 K to 393 K are performed to investigate the effects of …
Elastocaloric (EC) effect refers to the rapid cooling in shape memory alloys (SMAs) during reverse transformation from martensite to austenite under adiabatic conditions. We present a …
