A Large-Deformation Theory for Thermally-Actuated Shape-Memory Polymers and its Application
The most common shape-memory polymers are those in which the shape-recovery is thermally-induced. A body made from such a material may be subjected to large deformations at an elevated temperature above its glass transition temperature θg . Cooling the deformed body to a temperature below θ g...
