Review of Neural Network Modeling of Shape Memory Alloys by Rodayna Hmede, Frédéric Chapelle, Yuri Lapusta

“…The present review highlights the importance of AI in SMA modeling and introduces the deep connection between ANNs and SMAs in the medical, robotic, engineering, and automation fields. After summarizing the general characteristics of ANNs and SMAs, we analyze various ANN types used for modeling the properties of SMAs according to their shapes, e.g., a wire as an actuator, a wire with a spring bias, wire systems, magnetic and porous materials, bars and rings, and reinforced concrete beams. …”
