Magnetic shape-memory alloy — Magnetic shape memory alloys (MSMAs), or ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMAs), are ferromagnetic materials which exhibit large strains under the influence of an applied magnetic field due to martensitic phase transformation. Magnetic shape… … Wikipedia
Magnetic-core memory — A 32 x 32 core memory plane storing 1024 bits of data. Computer memory types Volatile RAM DRAM (e.g., DDR SDRAM) SRA … Wikipedia
Shape Memory Polymer — Shape Memory Polymers (SMPs) are polymer materials which may be returned from a deformed state to their original shape or permanent configuration via an external stimulus. The external stimulus is usually temperature, as in the case of thermally… … Wikipedia
Shape memory alloy — A shape memory alloy (SMA, also known as a smart alloy, memory metal, or muscle wire) is an alloy that remembers its shape, and can be returned to that shape after being deformed, by applying heat to the alloy. When the shape memory effect is… … Wikipedia
Shape-memory alloy — A shape memory alloy (SMA, smart metal, memory metal, memory alloy, muscle wire, smart alloy) is an alloy that remembers its original, cold forged shape: returning the pre deformed shape by heating. This material is a lightweight, solid state… … Wikipedia
Magnetic domain — Several grains of NdFeB with magnetic domains made visible via contrast with a Kerr microscope. A magnetic domain describes a region within a magnetic material which has uniform magnetization. This means that the individual magnetic moments of… … Wikipedia
