Abstract

The temperature memory effect (TME) has been reported as another interesting feature of many shape memory materials (SMMs). In this paper, we briefly review the recent progress in monitoring minor over-heating/cooling for random thermal fluctuation based on the TME via differential scanning calorimeter test. Two typical SMMs, namely shape memory alloy and shape memory polymer, are investigated. Two methods, namely the turning point method and enthalpy method are discussed together with their underlying mechanisms based on the experimental results. While the enthalpy method has the advantage of far more less number of pre-experiment, a systematical investigation is still required to confirm its potential.
