The “shape memory triangle” introduces the concepts of shape memory and superelasticity effects in Nitinol. This quick installment includes the first of many figures that we’ll refer to in this series. Read on for more. Read more »
Today we introduce an exciting new original series to NitinolUniversity.com. Over twenty years have passed since the famously out-of-print Engineering Aspects of Shape Memory Alloys was published. In the subsequent decades, Tom Duerig, Alan Pelton, and colleagues here at NDC have learned quite a bit, and we’ve set out to write it all down in a comprehensive and practical guide to the science and engineering aspects of Nitinol. In the coming weeks and months, join us here as we publish a series of excerpts from this forthcoming volume, and welcome your comments on the content along the way. Read on to begin the adventure with a short introduction by Tom. Read more »
