unctionally graded shape memory alloys have the advantage of joining the
properties of shape memory materials and those of functionally graded
structures. By proper material and structural design, they can exhibit new and
complex thermo mechanical behaviour that are different from uniform shape
memory alloys. One of their advantages is their expanded transformation
stress and temperature windows which provide improved controllability in
actuating application. This study reports on the general concept, fabrication,
experimentation and modelling of several designs of functionally graded
NiTi alloys, including compositionally graded, micro structurally graded and
geometrically graded NiTi structures, and the various techniques that may be
used to create them.
Biography
Bashir S. Shariat completed his PhD in 2013 at the University
of Western Australia. He started a postdoctoral fellowship
at the same university in 2015. He has published more than
20 papers in reputed journals in the field of mechanics and
material science. His work on mechanics of functionally graded
structures has been recognized internationally. He proposed
the concept of functionally graded shape memory alloys, which
can be used for different engineering applications including
medical devices. He has presented his research outcome in
many international conferences.
