A review of shape memory alloy research, applications and opportunities
TL;DR: Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are a class of shape memory materials (SMMs) which have the ability to "memorise" or retain their previous form when subjected to certain stimulus such as thermomechanical or magnetic variations.

Nature’s hierarchical materials
Peter Fratzl,Richard Weinkamer +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the basic principles involved in designing hierarchical biological materials, such as cellular and composite architectures, adapative growth and as well as remodeling, are discussed, and examples that are found to utilize these strategies include wood, bone, tendon, and glass sponges.

Overview No. 92: Materials and shape
TL;DR: In this paper, a procedure for selecting materials and section shapes for loadbearing components is described, depending on the mode of loading (tension, bending, torsion), on the available shapes (solid sections, tubes, I-sections and so on), and on the properties of the material of which the shape is made.
