A novel approach for using Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) was recently proposed and named highperformance shape memory effect (HP-SME). The HP-SME exploits the thermal cycling of stress-induced martensite for producing extremely high mechanical work with a very stable functional fatigue behaviour in Ni rich NiTi alloy. The latter was found to differ significantly from the functional fatigu... https://www.opheliasmuse.com/
