Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are a class of metallic smart materials which possess
pseudoelasticity (PE) and shape memory effect (SME), depending on the ambient …

Micro-indentation has been widely used for testing the mechanical properties of NiTi SMAs.
In the present study, large-scale molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of nano-indentation …

We extend the nested sampling algorithm to simulate materials under periodic boundary
and constant pressure conditions, and show how it can be used to determine the complete …

The mechanism of austenite-martensite interface migration is a key component in
understanding the phase transformations in shape memory alloys. It is also intimately tied to …

In this study, the buckling behavior of a three-layered composite nanoplate reinforced with
shape memory alloy (SMA) nanowires is examined. Whereas the upper and lower layers are …
