Introduction to Phase Transformations in Solids → Biomedical Applications of Shape Memory Alloys

This learning path guides undergraduate engineering students from the fundamentals of phase transformations in solids to the specialized behavior of shape memory alloys (SMAs). It covers the martensitic transformation, the origins of shape memory and superelasticity, key material systems like NiTi, and practical applications in actuators and biomedical devices. The path emphasizes the underlying mechanisms that connect microstructure to macroscopic functionality.
