In this paper, we systematically proposed the strategy of tailoring strain delocalization to
evade long-standing strength-ductility trade-off dilemma. The scientific contribution is to …

TiNi‐based shape memory alloys (SMAs) attract a lot of attention from engineering and
biomedical fields because of their superior functional properties, such as their unique shape …

Elastocaloric (EC) effect refers to the rapid cooling in shape memory alloys (SMAs) during
reverse transformation from martensite to austenite under adiabatic conditions. We present a …

Superelastic NiTi wires were deformed in tension up to gradually increasing total strains at
various temperatures, recoverable strains were evaluated and lattice defects left in the …

Performance degradation in shape memory alloys (SMA) arises due to a gradual loss of
strain recoverability attributable to slip mediated plasticity. The slip-induced changes in …

High temperature shape memory alloys are currently attracting significant attention by the
aerospace industry due to the potential use of shape memory and superelastic properties at …

Cu-based shape memory alloys are potential substitutes of NiTi shape memory alloys,
owing to their lower production costs and recent increase in mechanical properties arising …

There is a resurgence of interest in the elastocaloric (EC) effect of shape memory alloys
(SMAs). The temperature change associated with the EC effect can be substantial, far …

Full-field measurement techniques are now mature. As such, they have profoundly impacted
the experimental mechanics community in recent years. The way that shape memory alloys …

A series of Ni 50.3 Ti 29.7 (Hf, Zr) 20 (Zr= 0 to 20 at%) high-temperature shape memory
alloys were investigated to determine the effect of varying Hf/Zr ratio on shape memory …
