Abstract
The mechanical properties of shape memory alloys, shape memory polymers and their composites studied by Prof. H. Tobushi are summarized. The main subjects achieved are as follows. (1) Characteristics of shape memory alloy heat engine, (2) Thermomechanical properties of shape memory alloy, (3) Subloop deformation and influence of strain- and stress-rates on deformation, (4) Bending fatigue properties and enhancement of fatigue life of shape memory alloy, (5) Torsional deformation properties of shape memory alloy thin tape and their application, (6) Thermomechanical properties of shape memory polymer, (7) Thermomechanical properties of shape memory polymer foam and secondary shape forming and (8) Shape memory composite and functionally-graded shape memory polymer. The published papers related to these subjects are explained and listed.
