“…NiTi is the most industrially exploited shape memory alloy because of its high mechanical stability, high strain recovery, high damping property, biocompatibility and corrosion resistance thus finding numerous engineering applications. The main uses of NiTi are medicine (such as stents, grafts, orthopedic staples, orthodontic archwires, eyeglass frames, sutures; Petrini and Migliavacca, 2011;Wen et al, 2018;Nespoli et al, 2015), aerospace and military (such as couplers in F14 planes, morphing, low-shock release and deployment; Hartl and Lagoudas, 2007;Simiriotis et al, 2021), safety (like damper and sprinklers; Huang et al, 2020;Zhang et al, 2020;Fang et al, 2020;Huang et al, 2020) and robotics (such as actuators; Copaci et al, 2020;Nespoli et al, 2010aNespoli et al, , 2010bNespoli et al, , 2012Nespoli et al, , 2014Borlandelli et al, 2015).…”
