SMA CORES

Building Stronger. With MEMORY.

Our mission at SMA CORES, Inc. is to transform the way we design,
build, and repair structures through the use of Shape Memory Alloys
(SMAs): a class of metallic materials with unique thermomechanical
abilities. We analyze, design, and develop real-life SMA-based
structural technologies.

What is Shape Memory Alloy (SMA)?

Shape memory alloy (SMA) are a type of metal that possesses a unique ability of “remembering” its non-deformed shape when exposed to temperature. There is a large number of metals that exhibit “shape memory”. SMAs are found in many products that we use in our daily life.

What does SMA do?

SMA products offer transformative ways to reinforce, repair, and prestress structures. They offer the construction industry a quick fix for longstanding problems that no other material can fix using ​thermal prestressing​ and super-elasticity​. With SMAs, there is no need for hydraulic jacking, excessive hardware or labor. SMAs are the perfect solution for cutting down construction time and increasing productivity.
