About this document
Understanding Shape Memory Alloys by gorongamf19 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Shape memory alloys (SMAs) can recover permanent strains when heated above a specific temperature, transitioning between two phases: austenite and martensite. The martensitic transformation, which involves a rearrangement of atoms, is key to the shape recovery and can be induced by either temperature or stress. The document also discusses the pseudoelasticity and shape memory effect, highlighting the unique thermo-mechanical behavior of SMAs during phase transformations.
