(2020-11-25)Shape memory alloys (SMAs) can handle large deformations through martensitic phase transformation and reversible transformation from austenite to martensite under temperature and/or stress changes. Due to their amazing ...
-
(2018-11-19)Thermal Expansion is a material property that must be accounted for when designing objects where the operating temperature is larger or smaller than the ambient temperature, i.e. cryogenic tanks, and in precision instruments ...
-
(2014-06-02)Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) results from α-motor neuron loss in the spinal cord due to low levels of the survival of motor neuron (SMN) protein, required for proper spliceosome assembly. The reduced levels of SMN cause ...
-
(2009-05-15)In this study, the shape memory response of Ni2MnGa and NiMnCoIn magnetic shape memory alloys was observed under compressive stresses. Ni2MnGa is a magnetic shape memory alloy (MSMA) that has been shown to exhibit fully ...
-
(2018-05-27)The feasibility of using friction stir welding (FSW) to join nickel-titanium (NiTi) shape memory alloys (SMAs), both to themselves and to other materials, has been explored. The effects of the FSW process on the microstructure, ...
