Upscaling of SMA film-based elastocaloric cooling

, 2020
A new concept of upscaling a shape memory alloy (SMA) film based elastocaloric cooling device is presented by arranging SMA films in parallel to increase the specific cooling capacity at low actuation force, while maintaining the large surface-to-volume ...

SMAS-Platysma Face Lift

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1983
Correction of laxity in the submental area and of hypertrophic neck cords has been enhanced with the SMAS-platysma face life over that which was achieved with a standard skin face lift. Evaluation of a 6-year experience with the SMAS-platysma face lift reveals that the operation can be safely performed with an acceptably low incidence of complications.

Wave-induced vibration control of offshore jacket platforms through SMA dampers

Applied Ocean Research, 2019
Since permanent wave-induced vibrations of offshore jacket platforms reduce the service life of the jacket structure and deck equipment and increase the fatigue failure of the welded connections, this research has used SMA (shape memory alloy) dampers to
