Shape Memory and Superelasticity is pleased to announce the winners of the 2015 Best Paper Awards, as chosen by the journal’s Editor and Associate Editors with the results compiled by the journals publication staff at ASM. The awards will be presented to the winning authors at the International Conference on Shape Memory and Superelastic Technologies (SMST) which will be held May 15–19, 2017 in beautiful Paradise Point in San Diego, California, USA.
The Editor and Associate Editors of the journal believe it is important to evaluate the quality contributions published in Shape Memory and Superelasticity and to provide recognition of excellent work and its publication. Each paper is reviewed and evaluated on its merits for scientific and engineering content, originality, and presentation style. The following papers are recognized as outstanding.
The Shape Memory and Superelasticity Volume 1 Best Paper Award Winner
“Composition Dependences of Entropy Change, and Transformation Temperatures in Ni-rich Ti–Ni System” by K. Niitsu, Department of Materials Science, Graduate School of Engineering, Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan and the Center for Emergent Matter Science, RIKEN, Wako, Japan; and Y. Kimura, X. Xu, and R. Kainuma, Department of Materials Science, Graduate School of Engineering, Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan. The award, in addition to the recognition, includes a plaque and $1000 worth of ASM International products and services.
The Shape Memory and Superelasticity Volume 1 Best Paper Award Honorable Mention (tie)
For the 2015 papers there was a small margin between the scores for the Best Paper winner and the next three papers that were tied for second place. Due to this exceptional situation there will be Honorable Mentions awarded to the three tied papers. Each of the authors for the following papers will receive an honorable mention certificate.
“Crystal Structure, Transformation Strain, and Superelastic Property of Ti–Nb–Zr and Ti–Nb–Ta Alloys” by Hee Young Kim, Jie Fu, Hirobumi Tobe, Jae Il Kim, and Shuichi Miyazaki.
