Abstract

Biomedical porous NiTi shape memory alloy (SMA) with different porosity was fabricated by two approaches of powder sintering and combustion synthesis, respectively. It is characterized by biomimetic porous structure. The elastic modulus in compression of the porous NiTi SMA was measured. Furthermore, the effective elastic modulus of porous NiTi SMA was calculated using viogt upper limit and homoge nization theory, respectively. The predicted data agreed basically with the variation trend of the experimental data..
