Cyclic Behavior of Shape Memory Alloys: Materials Characterization and Optimization
Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are unique metallic alloys which can undergo large deformations while reverting back to their undeformed shape through either the application of heat (shape memory effect) or the removal of the load (superelastic effect). A multi-scale and multi-disciplinary approach is t...
