A medical needle is described that allows injection to take place at multiple sites through a single stab wound. This is achieved by extruding multiple, thin, and curved internal needles from a larger, straight, outer needle. The development and finite element modelling of the shape memory alloy (SMA) inner needles is presented in this paper. A non-linear elastic element model was used in this process to allow for the non-linear properties of the alloy and the large deformations that occur. The model provided maximum strain values and penetration forces for the inner needles. The deformation force on the tip of the needle was measured against displacement to confirm the predicted penetration force. Applications for the device include the treatment of liver cancer by direct injection of alcohol into the tumours.

This paper focuses on the thermo-mechanical behaviors of a shape memory alloy (SMA) plate with a circular hole under biaxial uneven tension. The phase transformation behaviors of SMA under complex stress state are formulated based on the one-dimensional phase transformation model developed by Zhou and Yoon. The stress field equation of the SMA plate with a circular hole is derived according to linear elastic mechanics. The phase transformation behaviors near the region around the circular hole are numerically simulated under different conditions of applied stress.

In the present paper we have put together some results of a cluster method that allows the calculation of linear and also non-linear effective elastic constants of polycrystalline materials within an iterative self-consistent scheme. The conceptual idea consists in simulating the real material by a suitably chosen cluster of single grains. One can then determine the elastic properties of the material under study by examining the elastic behavior of the cluster. The method is capable of resolving the effect of the grain shape, that is determined by the coordination number of the grains on the effective constants.
