The ability of shape memory alloys (SMAs) to recover inelastic strains larger than any other
metallic alloy has prompted their use in a wide range of applications. However, for the most …

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) belong to a class of shape memory materials (SMMs), which
have the ability to 'memorise'or retain their previous form when subjected to certain stimulus …

The excellent shape memory and mechanical properties of TiNi shape memory alloys
(SMAs) fabricated using selective laser melting (SLM) are highly desirable for a wide range …

NiTi shape memory alloys (SMAs) are used in a broad range of biomedical applications
because of their unique properties including biocompatibility and high corrosion and wear …

In the present work we explain the concentration dependence of the martensite start
temperature (MS) in Ni–Ti-based shape memory alloys (SMAs). We briefly review the …

Stimulus-responsive materials are able to response to a particular stimulus, such as, heat,
chemical, and light. As such, they are smarter and more intelligent than ordinary materials …

Shape-memory materials (SMMs) are characterized by their unique ability to remember and
recover their shape in response to external stimuli. Over recent decades, the use of SMMs in …

Abstract Shape-memory-polymers (SMPs) have displayed many attractive features,
especially in some shape memory composites that are able to respond swiftly to one or …

One of the most essential components of structural design for civil engineers is to build a
system that is resistant to environmental conditions such as harsh chemical environments …

High-efficiency elastocaloric refrigeration requires high-performance elastocaloric materials
