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..
