This research program addresses functionally graded thin film shapememory material (nickel titanium) being produced at UCLA. Shapememory alloys have the property that they return to a memorizedshape when heated. The material developed at UCLA has the uniquecapability of two-way actuation, that is it returns to a secondshape when cooled. This project will develop a thermomechanical modelfor this new material, consisting of a thermal model, a mechanicalmodel, a constitutive relation, and a phase transformation model.This research will enable the design of shape memory alloy devices.For example, it may make it possible to produce small devices on thesurfaces of aircraft to reduce drag or control flight. It will enablethe development of new MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems)devices. This advancement may be especially valuable in biomedicalapplications since nickel titanium is biocompatible.

这项研究计划解决功能梯度薄膜形状记忆材料（镍钛）正在加州大学洛杉矶分校生产。 形状记忆合金具有加热时能恢复记忆形状的特性。 加州大学洛杉矶分校开发的材料具有双向驱动的能力，也就是说，当冷却时，它会恢复到第二种形状。 本计画将发展此新材料的热力学模型，包括热力学模型、力学模型、本构关系及相变模型。此研究将使形状记忆合金装置的设计成为可能。例如，它可能使在飞机表面制造小型装置以减少阻力或控制飞行成为可能。 它将使新的MEMS（微机电系统）器件的发展成为可能。 由于镍钛合金具有生物相容性，这一进展在生物医学应用中可能特别有价值。
