Ferromagnetic shape-memory CoNiGa alloys have attracted much scientific interest due to their potential alternative use as high-temperature shape-memory alloys, bearing a high prospect for actuation and damping applications ...

Titanium–tantalum based alloys can demonstrate a martensitic transformation well above 100 °C, which makes them attractive for shape memory applications at elevated temperatures. In addition, they provide for good workability ...

Hot forming as a coupled thermo-mechanical process comprises of numerous material phenomena with a corresponding impact on the material behavior during and after the forming process. Within the subsequent heat treatment, ...

Multiscale modeling of structures made from shape memory alloys (SMA) is presented. Starting with consideration of a single transformation event at the micro-level and averaging over the representative volume, micromecha ...
