Like most bone deficits, mandibular segmental defects may result from surgical
reconstruction due to congenital deformity, tumor resection, other pathologies, senescence …

This article seeks to reduce the stiffness of NiTi parts from a nonporous state to that of
human bone by introducing porosity. Compact bone stiffness is between 12 and 20 GPa …

Numerous constitutive models have been proposed so far to investigate the unique
properties of shape memory alloys. In these models, start conditions for transformation as …

In recent years, shape memory alloys (SMAs) have entered a wide range of engineering
applications in fields such as aerospace and medical applications. Nickel-titanium (NiTi) is …

In this article, a multi-dimensional gradient-enhanced constitutive model of shape memory
alloys is developed. The model is developed to capture unstable behaviors of shape …

Ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMAs) are a branch of smart materials which can
undergo inelastic deformation when exposed to magnetic fields. In this work, experiments …

Mandibular reconstruction surgery is a part of treatment for cancer, tumor, and all the cases
that involve segmental defects. One of the most common approaches for the reconstruction …

Different constitutive models along with various numerical implementation approaches have
been proposed for shape memory alloys (SMAs) in the last decades. Since 1-D models are …
