Shape memory alloys (SMAs) belong to a class of shape memory materials (SMMs), which
have the ability to 'memorise'or retain their previous form when subjected to certain stimulus …

Shape-memory materials (SMMs) are characterized by their unique ability to remember and
recover their shape in response to external stimuli. Over recent decades, the use of SMMs in …
