Size Effects in Shape Memory Ceramics

Bulk shape memory ceramics (SMCs) are attractive for their high transformation temperatures and transformation stresses compared to shape memory metals but exhibit transformation-induced cracking due to mismatch stresses arising at the grain boundaries. Current strategies for mitigating cracking in...
