Shape‐memory phenomena
DOI: 10.1063/1.2916195
If you deform an ordinary material below its elastic limit and keep it below its annealing temperature, it will return to its original shape once the load is removed. If the stress is too large, however, or if the temperature is allowed to become too high, the deformation becomes permanent, and the material retains no memory of its original shape.
