The generated damages in steel structures due to terrorist attack explosion has attracted structural engineering communities, because the effect of blast loading is extremely sever and destructive. behavior Superelastic Nickle Titanium Shape Memory Alloy (NiTi SMA) beam-column connection was infrequently studied under loading. present study develops smart performance proposed configuration eval...

• Laser-powder bed fusion (L-PBF) fabrication of functionally graded nickel-titanium (NiTi)-AISI 316L material demonstrated. Excellent bonding between NiTi and AISI alloys controlled via complex bands multi-material layers. Phase microstructural evolution through the L-PBF settings. Multi-material phase microstructure formation/evolution mechanisms elucidated. This study evaluates additively ma...

Nickel-Titanium (NiTi) based shape memory alloy (SMA) wires are already often used in industrial actuator applications. Their high energy density allows to build light-weight systems with forces using small installation spaces. Combined the biocompatibility of NiTi, a huge field applications can be covered by SMA actuated systems. In like emergency brakes or switch disconnectors, which require ...
