Partha Protim Chattopadhyay  presents studies of the influence of deformation processing on a TiNi shape memory alloy. The work was done with Arijit Sinha at the Bengal Engineering and Science University. There is an interesting relationship discovered of the recoverable strain as a function of the hardness to elastic modulus ratio, using machine learning methods. 

The shape memory effect was first discovered by Kurjumov and Khandros,
