Manuscript Topics
Shape-Memory-Alloys (SMAs) have substantial potential in the construction industry. This potential is built on their unique ability to undergo large deformations and return to the undeformed shape. The thermomechanical processing applied during the fabrication process is key for this unique ability and allows SMAs to exhibit superelasticity or shape-memory-effect. Potential applications of this unique property in the construction industry are numerous and include reinforcement and repair of structural elements, prestress applications, and the development of kernel components for seismic devices such as dampers and isolators. Authors are encouraged to submit original papers related to SMA Manufacturing, SMA Properties, and SMA Applications.
