Description
Summary:Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) have attracted the attention of scientific and engineering communities for the recent decade due to their unique features that their physical configuration can be easily, precisely and repeatedly controlled by temperature changes. This study focuses on the analysis of several mechanical problems of SMAs which arise in their practical applications.
