Who is SMST?
The International Organization on Shape Memory and Superelastic Technologies (SMST) is the foremost authority on the technical properties and uses of Nitinol and other shape memory alloys. SMST offers access to a key network of organizations and professionals who comprise the core of the world’s knowledge and understanding of these amazing materials.
What’s New
“Free Access to Review Article from Shape Memory and Superelasticity”
Now through the end of March, the Shape Memory and Superelasticity review article “A Brief Review on Discrete Modelling of Martensitic Phase Transformations” by Mahendaran Uchimali and Petr Sittner is free access for you to download and read! This article explains how discrete models can be applied to simulate thermomechanical behavior and evolving microstructures in martensitically transforming shape memory alloys (SMA). Results of the two-dimensional simulations of thermally and stress-induced martensitic transformations for two kinds of martensitic transformation (square to rectangle and square to parallelogram) in SMA single crystal are presented and discussed.
