12 Knowledge Nodes · 12 Learning Steps · v0 Active

This advanced graduate-level path provides a rigorous foundation in the crystallography and thermodynamics of martensitic transformations, then applies this knowledge to the design, characterization, and application of shape memory alloys, with a focus on NiTi and Cu-based systems. Learners will explore the mechanisms of one-way and two-way memory, superelasticity, and the engineering considerations for biomedical and actuator applications.
