Shape effects on memory for location [PDF]

open access: yesPsychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2007
The participants were 40 students who were briefly presented 32 dot locations, one at a time, and attempted to reproduce each location after a short delay. Half of the participants completed the task with the surrounding shapes being a circle, a horizontal ellipse, and a vertical ellipse; for the other half, the surrounding shapes were a square, a ...

Development of High-Entropy Shape-Memory Alloys: A Review

open access: yesMetals, 2023
High-entropy shape-memory alloys (HESMAs) exhibit unique properties, including high yield strength, a wide temperature range of phase transformation, and excellent thermal cycling stability, among others. Hence, they have broad prospects for research and

A micromechanics-inspired constitutive model for shape-memory alloys [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
This paper presents a three-dimensional constitutive model for shape-memory alloys that generalizes the one-dimensional model presented earlier (Sadjadpour and Bhattacharya 2007 Smart Mater. Struct. 16 S51–62).

Shape-memory effects in molecular crystals [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
AbstractMolecular crystals can be bent elastically by expansion or plastically by delamination into slabs that glide along slip planes. Here we report that upon bending, terephthalic acid crystals can undergo a mechanically induced phase transition without delamination and their overall crystal integrity is retained.

Memory effect in growing trees [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We show that the structure of a growing tree preserves an information on the shape of an initial graph. For the exponential trees, evidence of this kind of memory is provided by means of the iterative equations, derived for the moments of the node-node ...

Triple-shape memory effect in 3D-printed polymers

open access: yeseXPRESS Polymer Letters, 2020
A triple-shape memory effect represents that polymers can memorize two temporary shapes and show a subsequent recovery from the second temporary shape to the first temporary shape and further to the permanent shape with heating, which provides more ...
