Smart Materials Physics 87N Elaine Zelby Kevin Bird Amit Patel Δ What is a Smart Material? Basically it’s a material that reacts quickly to a stimulus in a specific manner. The change in the material can also be reversible, as a change in stimulus can bring the material back to its previous state. Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) Metals that exhibit pseudo-elasticity and the “Shape Memory Effect” The basic principle behind SMAs is that a solid state phase change occurs in these materials. They switch between states of Austenite and Martensite. Example of SMA Appplications of SMAs Popular SMAs are
