PDF Ebook Shape Memory Alloy Shape Training Tutorial
The following is a tutorial written for an instructor of a class that might discuss smart materials, namely shape memory alloys (SMAs). It provides fundamental information about SMAs, in class shape-training exercises, and a longer take-home shape-training assignment. When we first commenced reading papers and running experiments to write this tutorial, we found most papers that describe the process of shape-training make it sound much simpler than it is.
We have attempted in this tutorial to describe the pitfalls and the many lessons we learned through preparing to write this shape-training tutorial. We hope this tutorial gives classes of interested engineers and materials science students a more realistic and practical approach to understanding SMA shape-training.
