Shape-Memory Alloys as Multifunctional Materials

Abstract

The shape-memory effect is observed in alloys that exhibit a thermoelastic martensite transformation.1–7 In this type of transformation the martensite forms and disappears with a falling and rising temperature. In certain alloys, an intermetallic phase exists that will undergo a displacive shear-lik...
