“…Among several types of active materials, shape memory alloys (SMAs) have been extensively studied and have also been used in a wide variety of applications ranging from biomechanics [30] to aerospace [10], and civil engineering [6]. The widespread use of SMAs is mainly because of their unique ability in generating relatively large inelastic deformations and high stresses.…”

“…Actually, while an extensive application of FE modelling for simulating the treatment of vessel stenoses can be found in the literature (Migliavacca et al 2004;Wu et al 2007;De Beule et al 2008;Gijsen et al 2008;Early et al 2009;Mortier et al 2010), to date the amount of similar studies on cerebral aneurysm treatment has been very limited. In fact, the Finite Element method (FEM) allows very complex models to be developed, including high non-linearity due to material properties (for instance, Holzapfel et al 2005, for the biomechanics of coronary arteries, and Petrini et al 2005, for the material properties of the stent) and kinematics, which facilitate accurate description of the stenting procedure. On the other hand, the high-computational cost of these models makes their use not feasible in the operating theatre.…”

“…The unique ability of shape memory alloys in recovering large inelastic strains and also generating high stresses has caused a considerable increase in manufacturing devices made of these materials in recent years. The SMAs are now used in applications in a wide variety of devices ranging from simple parts like cell phone antennas or eyeglass frames to complicated devices in mechanical (Brook, 1983;Jee et al, 2006;Xua and Song, 2004), biomechanical (Petrini et al, 2005), aerospace (Hartl and Lagoudas, 2007), and civil engineering (DesRoches and Smith, 2004).…”
