Composites of shape memory alloys (SMA) with a matrix have been widely studied to suppress the propagation of damage. In these studies, the SMA is used as an actuator. A multi-functional SMA as both sensor and actuator is suitable for constructing intelligent material, such as a material with a sensing and suppressing function. The damage of materials is related to the amount of strain. We studied the use of SMA wire parts as sensors to measure the amount of strain for damage estimation. The acoustic emission (AE) signals induced by phase tran ....etc

Because of their excellent high temperature characteristics, Ni-based single-crystal alloys are used in applications where operating temperatures exceed 900ºC. The initiation of cracks under these conditions is generally associated with micro-scale porosities (typically between 10 and 20 microns). A rate-dependent crystallographic constitutive model in conjunction with a mass diffusion model has been used to study crack initiation in single crystal nickel-base superalloys, exposed to an oxidizing environment and subjected to ....etc

In metallic alloys at room temperature, atomic diffusion is typically very sluggish, and equilibrium or metastable phases do not undergo transformations. However, during plastic deformation, significant atomic mobility is possible. In addition, deformation may lead to mixing, possibly favoring the formation of nonequilibrium phases. In this talk, two examples will be presented, in which the rate of transformation to equilibrium is enhanced by mechanical deformation. In an unstable, nanocrystalline Fe50Cu50 solid solution, ball milling leads to ....etc

SHAPE MEMORY ALLOYS
Introduction
Shape memory alloys (SMA's) are metals, which exhibit two very unique properties, pseudo-elasticity, and the shape memory effect. Arne Olander first observed these unusual properties in 1938 (Oksuta and Wayman 1998), but not until the 1960's were any serious research advances made in the field of shape memory alloys. The most effective and widely used alloys include NiTi (Nickel - Titanium), CuZnAl, and CuAlNi.
The two unique properties described above are made possi ....etc
