Shape-Memory Alloys Handbook

The "Shape-Memory Alloys Handbook" by Christian Lexcellent is an essential resource for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of shape-memory alloys (SMAs). Published in 2013 by ISTE Ltd and John Wiley & Sons Inc, this comprehensive hardback edition spans 408 pages, providing detailed insights into the martensitic phase transformation and the critical process of martensite platelet reorientation. These foundational concepts are pivotal in explaining the unique behaviors exhibited by SMAs, which have garnered significant attention in various applications due to their remarkable ability to return to a predetermined shape after deformation. Lexcellent's expert analysis and thorough exploration of these topics make this handbook an invaluable reference for researchers, engineers, and students in materials science and engineering. Enhance your knowledge and experience of shape-memory alloys with this authoritative guide.
