This book presents a systematic and up-to-date account of all aspects of shape memory materials  from fundamentals to applications. Starting from the basic principles of the martensitic transformation  on which the shape memory effect and the superelasticity of alloys are based  the mechanisms of the two phenomena are clearly described  together with possible applications. The characteristics  fabrication techniques and thermomechanical treatment of various shape memory alloys are described in detail  with special emphasis on Ti-Ni and Ti-Ni-X (with X being Cu  Fe etc.) alloys. The book then describes various applications and design principles  for example in actuators  medical applications and as smart materials. The book contains chapters on shape memory ceramics and polymers as well as shape memory alloys  making the book a comprehensive account of the field.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67902176821301,"sku":"ByrdShop_0521663849","price":70.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780521663847.jpg?v=1793820511","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/shape-memory-materials-volume-0-9780521663847","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
