What Does SME Stand For?
SME stands for Shape Memory Effect
The Shape Memory Effect (SME) refers to the ability of certain materials, typically shape memory alloys and polymers, to return to a predetermined shape upon heating after being deformed. This unique property is due to a phase transformation within the material's structure, allowing it to "remember" its original form. SME has various applications in fields such as robotics, medical devices, and actuation systems, where precise movement and adaptability are essential.
