Description:
The module Shape memory alloys in medicine shall enable students learning the nature of phenomena classified as the shape memory effect and factors having a decisive influence on martensitic transformation reversibility and on the shape memory effect inducing in engineering materials. This knowledge is necessary to obtain the skill to design alloys for specific applications, including medical applications.
Prerequisites:
Achieving effects of education in materials science and engineering materials modules.
