Current status of 4D printing technology and the potential of light-reactive smart materials as 4D printable materials (2016, background): “…and titanium developed at the Naval Ordinance Lab, has found popularity in the automotive (Jani et al. 2014), aerospace (Humbeeck 1999), biomedical (Morgan 2004), robotics (Wu and Schetky 2000, Mazzolai et al. 2012, Jani et al. 2013, Cianchetti et al. 2014, Laschi and Cianchetti 2014), and soft…”
Three-dimensional modeling and numerical analysis of rate-dependent irrecoverable deformation in shape memory alloys (2010, background): “…behavior of conventional SMA compositions such as NiTi exposed to high temperatures has been experimentally studied, and creep has been observed and quantified given both tensile (Mukherjee, 1968; Eggeler et al., 2002; Lexcellent et al., 2005) and compressive loads (Oppenheimer et al., 2007).”
Tension, compression, and bending of superelastic shape memory alloy tubes (2014, background): “In dentistry, superelastic SMAs are used as pretensioned orthodontic wires and root canal files that must bend to accommodate tortuous crevices (Duerig, T. W. and Pelton, A. and Stöckel, D., 1999; Morgan, 2004).”
Origami-inspired active structures: a synthesis and review (2014, background): “This concept adds to the extensive use of SMAs in the biomedical field [140, 141, 142].”
