Constitutive models for shape memory alloys have seen significant development in the last
decades. They have evolved from uniaxial, mostly empirical, relations to full-fledged …

Application spectrum of shape memory alloys (SMA) is expanding rapidly and
proportionately so is the engineering demand for superior materials. An essential …

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

We present a new phase field framework for modelling fracture and fatigue in Shape
Memory Alloys (SMAs). The constitutive model captures the superelastic behaviour of SMAs …

Porous NiTi shape memory alloys (SMA) have been developed into important biomedical
and dam** materials. However, the effect of pore on the martensitic microstructure …

In this work, the evolutions of superelasticity (SE) and elastocaloric effect (eCE) for NiTi
shape memory alloy (SMA) helical springs under cyclic deformation are investigated …

In this work, cyclic tension-unloading tests with different peak strains (10%-18%) in the
temperature range from 313 K to 393 K are performed to investigate the effects of …

Following their discovery in the early 1960s, there has been a continuous quest for ways to
take advantage of the extraordinary properties of shape memory alloys (SMAs). These …

Nickel–titanium (NiTi) shape memory alloys have gained more prominence due to their
functional and mechanical properties. This material undergoes solid-state phase …

Nitinol shape memory alloy is a biocompatible material that is suitable for biomedical
applications due to its superelasticity, shape memory effect, good corrosion and fatigue …
