Isothermal treatments at 413 K were performed in Cu–Al–Mn shape memory alloy samples, to study their effects on the martensitic transformation. This procedure, within the miscibility gap, produces spinodal decomposition. ...

The dynamical behavior of the reverse martensitic transformation has been numerically simulated with an atomistic model and compared with experiments in Cu-Zn-Al alloys. Starting from different configurations of the ...

Shape memory alloys, like B2–CuZr, are a class of materials that have the ability to recover their original shape when subjected to specific thermomechanical conditions. In this work, we carry out molecular dynamics ...

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) with double martensitic transitions are potential candidates for highly effective, nonstandard mechanical damping systems. This paper presents a numerical model that can be used to simulate ...

Fe-Mn-based alloys show the shape memory effect which is mainly related to the FCC-HCP martensitic transformation. Cr is one of the additional elements which improve the properties of these alloys. In the present work ...

Many macroscopic behaviors of the martensitic transformations are difficult to explain in the frame of the classical first-order phase transformations, without including the role of point and crystallographic defects ...

Magnetic shape memory nanostructures have a great potential in the field of the nanoactuators. The relationship between dimensionality, microstructure and magnetism characterizes the materials performance. Here, we study ...
