About this document
Overview of Shape Memory Alloys by Ganesh Y is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Shape memory alloys are alloys that can return to their original shape after being deformed by a change in temperature or pressure. They exhibit two solid phases due to distinct crystal structures. One-way shape memory allows a material to change shape when heated but not cooled, while two-way memory allows change upon both heating and cooling. Shape memory alloys are used as actuators due to their ability to produce extreme forces in a small volume. As actuators, they can provide displacement in one direct
