A recent article in Materials & Design presented an in-situ study of compression creep and stress relaxation in a Fe-based shape memory alloy (Fe-SMA; Fe-17Mn-5Si-10Cr-4Ni-1(V,C)) using high-energy ...

A new building material is about to be launched on the market: 'memory-steel' can not only be used to reinforce new, but also existing concrete structures. When the material is heated (one-time), ...

Swiss scientists have made significant progress in improving the lifespan of aging concrete bridges ...

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 ...

Advanced monitoring methods were used throughout testing to track structural behavior. Digital imaging systems observed crack development, while embedded fiber-optic sensors measured strain ...

The secret to how steel hardens and shape-memory alloys snap into place lies in rapid, atomic-scale shifts that scientists have struggled to observe in materials. Now, Cornell researchers are ...

The unique properties of shape-memory alloys such as nitinol have lent themselves to a variety of applications across numerous industries, including medical devices. These common shape-memory alloys, ...

In order to address the challenges in fabrication NiTiNb ternary alloy structures, researchers from Shandong University (SDU) have proposed an alloy design strategy to prepare NiTiNb shape memory ...

Smart materials are an interesting field that is growing quickly, and shape memory alloys (SMAs) are one such materials that represent one of the most exciting areas. An SMA can experience ...
