Shape memory alloys (SMA) fabricated from nickel-titanium (NiTi) have garnered significant
attention due to their intrinsic properties, including the shape memory effect (SME) …

Recently, concept for an alloy having both glass forming ability and shape memory
characteristics has been newly introduced based on the excellent functional properties of …

Functionally graded shape memory alloys have the advantage of combining the
functionalities of the shape memory effect and those of functionally graded structures. By …

The study is focused to understand the micro-mechanisms that govern the deformation
behavior of a Ni-rich NiTi alloy at the sub-micron scale. This alloy undergoes reversible …

The research focuses on systematically studying the effect of processing parameters in
controlling the microstructure and mechanical behavior including pseudoelasticity of a NiTi …

We use a nanoindenter with a Berkovich tip to study local mechanical properties of two
polycrystalline intermetallics with a B2 crystal structure, NiAl and NiTi. We use orientation …

Superelastic nanocompression tests are performed on different micropillars milled by
focused ion beam from [001]-oriented single crystals of Cu–Al–Ni shape memory alloys …

NiTi shape memory alloys can be used as micro actuators and small scale pseudoelastic
components. Therefore there is a need to characterize their mechanical properties on the …

In the present work we used nanoindentation with a spherical indenter tip to study the
formation of stress-induced martensite in NiTi shape memory alloys. Prior to …

Direct experimental characterization of indentation-induced martensitic microstructures in
pseudoelastic shape memory alloys (SMAs) is not possible, and thus there is a lack of …
