The team at Institute of Thermomechanics in collaboration with Japanese and Spanish partners coined out the way how to effectively reflect and model the nonlinear elastic behavior in shape and magnetic shape memory alloys. The Landau-energy landscape is reconstructed using few essential mechanical measurements. More details in the article:
