Shape memory materials are smart materials that stand out because of several remarkable
properties, including their shape memory effect. Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are largely …

Nowadays, the application of advanced and intelligent materials such as piezoelectric,
shape memory alloys (SMA), and multi-phase materials, are highly demanded, especially in …

The finite element (FE) solutions of the smart (SMA: shape memory alloy fibre bonded)
composite with and without crack are computed in this research. The structural model is …

The rapid development of next-generation spacecraft technology has placed increasingly
stringent requirements on the lightweight level of structural components. As a result, many …

Machined helical springs were designed and fabricated from NiTi shape memory alloy tube
stock by cutting helical slots to make the coils, which provided them with high design …

In the present study, the capacity of two commercial NiTi and NiTiCu shape memory alloy
(SMA) wires to develop work-generating (WG) and constrained-recovery (CR) shape …

Four-dimensional (4D) printed structures have great potential to be deployed in various
sectors, such as industrial and biomedical applications. The high complexity allowed by …

This work focuses on investigating the optimal design of composite sandwich plates
(FCSPs) with a viscoelastic square honeycomb core (VSHC). Firstly, using the cross-fill …

Soft grippers are favored for handling delicate objects due to their compliance but often have
lower load capacities compared to rigid ones. Variable Stiffness Module (VSM) offer a …

The novelty and main contributions of this research are to investigate simultaneously static
bending, free vibration, and buckling responses of a sandwich beam composed of a five …
