The Common Mechanical Factor of Shape Memory
Kafka, Vratislav ; Vokoun, David
Shape memory is observed in elastic bodies, springs, bi-metals, in many mechanical actuators, such as thermostats and others, in many biological materials, and in special "shape memory alloys". It is shown that all systems or materials have one common factor: at least one elastic or thermoelastic continuous substructure, in the case of "shape memoryalloys" this substructure is on the atomic scale.
