Shape Memory Alloys

Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) are novel and special materials (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLGaF6cWl04&feature=related)
--They can remember their shape when heated above a certain transition temperature --Also called muscle wires

SMAs change shape based on a solid state phase transformation Atomic level changes
--Rearrangement of atoms

Change in shape occurs at a specific temperature

--Shape Memory Effect
Chapter 1 - 4

SMA Major applications:

Nanomuscles Surgical instruments
Tissue Spreader Stents (angioplasty) Coronary Probe Brain Spatula

Endoscopy: miniature zoom device, bending actuator Force sensor Smart skin (wing turbulence reduction)

Invisible Cloak?
Metamaterial: tiny, artificial structures that are smaller than the wavelength of light (they have to be to divert them) and exhibit negative electromagnetic properties (such as negative index of refraction) that affect how an object interacts with electromagnetic fields.

Types of Materials
Metals:
Strong, ductile high thermal & electrical conductivity opaque, reflective.

Polymers/plastics: Covalent bonding sharing of es

Soft, ductile, low strength, low density thermal & electrical insulators Optically translucent or transparent.

Ceramics: ionic bonding (refractory) compounds of metallic

& non-metallic elements (oxides, carbides, nitrides, sulfides) Brittle, glassy, elastic non-conducting (insulators)

The Materials Selection Process

1. Pick Application
Determine required Properties
Properties: mechanical, electrical, thermal, magnetic, optical, deteriorative.

2. Properties 3. Material

Identify candidate Material(s)

Material: structure, composition.

Identify required Processing

Processing: changes structure and overall shape ex: casting, sintering, vapor deposition, doping forming, joining, annealing.
