<strong>Shape</strong>-memory effect or one way shape-memory effect (Fig. 2.3). Consider aspecimen <strong>in</strong> the multi-variant martensite state and a temperature lower thanMf;accor<strong>di</strong>ngly, at zero stress only the martensite is stable <strong>in</strong> a multi-variantcomposition. Dur<strong>in</strong>g the loa<strong>di</strong>ng phase, the material shows a non-l<strong>in</strong>ear response(AB) due to a stress-<strong>in</strong>duced conversion of the multi-variant martensite <strong>in</strong>to a s<strong>in</strong>glevariantmartensite. Dur<strong>in</strong>g the unloa<strong>di</strong>ng phase (BC), residual deformations show up(AC). However, the residual, apparently <strong>in</strong>elastic, stra<strong>in</strong> may be recovered (shaperecovery) by heat<strong>in</strong>g the material to a temperature aboveA f, thus <strong>in</strong>duc<strong>in</strong>g atemperature-driven conversion of martensite <strong>in</strong>to austenite.
