Shape memory alloys (SMAs) exhibit unique thermomechanical behaviour, recovering predefined shapes through reversible martensitic phase transformations. When integrated into composite laminates, ...

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are metallic materials capable of recovering large strains through thermo‐mechanical transformations. When incorporated into cementitious composites, SMAs impart active ...

Shape memory alloys (SMA) remember their original shape and return to it after being heated. Similar to how a liquid transforms into a gas when boiled, SMAs undergo a phase transformation when heated ...

In the early 1960s, scientists discovered Nitinol, a nickel-titanium alloy with a shape memory effect. This remarkable material can be bent or deformed when cool but returns to its original shape when ...
