Recent experiments on nanostructured materials, such as nanoparticles, nanowires,
nanotubes, nanopillars, thin films, and nanocrystals have revealed a host of “ultra-strength” …

Porous crystalline frameworks including zeolites, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs),
covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) …

Flexible porous coordination polymers change their structure in response to molecular
incorporation but recover their original configuration after the guest has been removed. We …

After being severely and quasi-plastically distorted, shape memory materials (SMMs) are
able to recover their original shape at the presence of the right stimulus. In recent years we …

Phase transitions in nickel-titanium shape-memory alloys are investigated by means of
atomistic simulations. A second nearest-neighbor modified embedded-atom method …

Molecular dynamics simulations are performed to investigate temperature-and stress-
induced phase transformations in nanocrystalline nickel-titanium shape-memory alloys. Our …

In situ X-ray diffraction during loading and unloading is used to investigate the effects of
grain size (GS) on the stress-induced nanoscale phase transition (PT) mechanism in …

We investigated the effects of grain size on the rate-dependent thermomechanical
responses of polycrystalline superelastic NiTi (with an average grain size from 10 to 90 nm) …

A non-isothermal and crystal plasticity based phase field model was established by
incorporating various inelastic deformation mechanisms, ie, martensite transformation …

The effects of grain size (GS) on tensile fatigue life of nanostructured NiTi superelastic shape
memory alloys (SMAs) with GS= 10 nm, 42 nm and 80 nm are investigated. Macroscopic …
