Shape transformable bifurcated stents [PDF]
AbstractNon-invasive delivery of artificial implants, stents or devices in patients is vital for rapid and successful recovery. Unfortunately, because the delivery passage is often narrower than the size of the delivered object, a compromise between the shape that is effective at the targeted location and a thin form that allows smooth unobstructed ...

Advances in martensitic transformations in Cu-based shape memory alloys achieved by in situ neutron and synchrotron X-ray diffraction methods [PDF]
This article deals with the application of several X-ray and neutron diffraction methods to investigate the mechanics of a stress induced martensitic transformation in Cu-based shape memory alloy polycrystals. It puts experimental results obtained by two

Vesicle Shapes and Shape Transformations: A Systematic Study [PDF]
In our contribution we report a systematic experimental and theoretical study on shape transformations. In order to avoid the above mentioned complications we have investigated vesicles which consist of electrically neutral lipids (that is phosphatidylcholine) in Millipore water.

Interplay of Martensitic Phase Transformation and Plastic Slip in Polycrystals [PDF]
Inspired by key experimental and analytical results regarding Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs), we propose a modelling framework to explore the interplay between martensitic phase transformations and plastic slip in polycrystalline materials, with an eye ...

Polymersome Shape Transformation at the Nanoscale [PDF]
Polymer vesicles, also named polymersomes, are valuable candidates for drug delivery and micro- or nanoreactor applications. As far as drug delivery is concerned, the shape of the carrier is believed to have a strong influence on the biodistribution and cell internalization.

Deformation and Fracture of Thin Sheets of Nitinol [PDF]
Nickel-Titanium (Nitinol) is a Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) that exhibits superelasticity (pseudoelasticity) and shape memory by a solid-solid state diffusion-less phase transformation.
