Shape Memory and Superelasticity

Shape Memory and Superelasticity is published by Springer for the International Organization on Shape Memory and Superelastic Technologies, an affiliate society of ASM International, and its 2025 Journal Impact Factor is 2.4.《形状记忆与超弹性》由施普林格为国际形状记忆与超弹性技术组织出版，该组织是 ASM International 的下属学会，2025 年期刊影响因子 2.4。

Volume 1 appeared in 2015, the journal has kept a quarterly rhythm since then, and volume 12 is the 2026 volume with three issues closed so far.第 1 卷 2015 年出版，此后一直保持季刊节奏，第 12 卷对应 2026 年，目前已出三期。

Scope

• All classes of shape memory material are covered, so metals, shape memory ceramics, shape memory polymers and composites appear in the same volume without any hierarchy.各门类形状记忆材料都在范围内，金属、形状记忆陶瓷与形状记忆聚合物、复合材料同卷出现，不分高下。

• The journal is organised around the response to external stimuli, taking in force, displacement, temperature, magnetic fields, irradiation and corrosive media as the conditions of central interest.刊物围绕对外界刺激的响应来组织，力、位移、温度、磁场与辐照、腐蚀介质都被当作核心条件。

• Continuum mechanics, micromechanics and microstructurally informed constitutive modelling are named as the theoretical routes, and atomistic models sit alongside them where the scale is small enough to need them.连续介质力学、微观力学与由微结构支撑的本构模型被列为理论路径，尺度小到需要时也用原子尺度模型。

• Mathematics of microstructures is treated as a subject in its own right, which puts the geometry of martensitic variants within reach of a modelling paper as well.微结构数学单列为题目，马氏体变体的几何因此也能进建模论文。

• Advanced experimental techniques are part of the brief, from thermal and mechanical cycling to the application of magnetic and other external fields during a running test.先进实验手段写进了征稿范围，热循环与机械循环在内，试验进行中施加磁场或其他外场也算。

• Fatigue and fracture get separate attention because a shape memory component in service usually fails by accumulating cycles rather than by one overload event at the end.疲劳与断裂单列，在役形状记忆构件多半是循环累积出来的失效，最后那一次超载只是压垮它。

• Environmental factors belong in the same discussion, since corrosive media change transformation temperatures and the usable strain a device can offer over its service life.环境因素放在同一场讨论里，腐蚀介质会改变相变温度，也会改变器件在寿命内可用的应变量。

• Biomedical devices are a long-standing application area, and stents, orthodontic wires and surgical instruments are treated as engineering problems first and as clinical matters second in the journal.医疗器械是长期的应用领域，支架、正畸丝与手术器械先当工程问题看待，临床上怎么用放在第二位。

• Actuators and thin films are handled with the same tools, and micro-electromechanical systems appear among the applications the scope names explicitly, which keeps device work close to materials work.作动器与薄膜用同一套工具处理，微机电系统被范围明确点名，器件工作因此贴住材料工作。

• Robotics and aerospace components sit beside civil engineering structures in the list, so damping devices and morphing skins are read as the same family of problems.机器人部件与航空航天件和土木结构并列，阻尼装置与变形蒙皮被当作同一类问题来读。

• New phenomena, new materials and new applications are the three things the aims say the journal is looking for, in that order rather than by accident.新现象、新材料与新应用是宗旨里写明的三样，顺序并非随手排列。

• Modelling papers are expected to meet experiment somewhere, and the scope treats the two as complementary rather than as rival methods for the same question.建模论文总要和实验对上，范围里把两者当作互补，而不是回答同一问题时的对手。

• Physics, materials science, mechanics and mathematics all contribute, which is why a paper may arrive from a metallurgy group and be read by applied mathematicians as well.物理、材料学、力学与数学都出力，所以一篇出自冶金课题组的东西，应用数学家也会读。

• Processing methods get a place of their own, since how a wire is drawn or a sheet rolled decides the transformation temperatures the finished part will show.加工方法另占一席，丝材怎么拉、板材怎么轧，决定了成品件最终显示的相变温度。

History

• Volume 1 came out in 2015 from Springer in Heidelberg, and the National Library of Medicine carries the subtitle advances in science and technology for it since.第 1 卷 2015 年由海德堡的施普林格出版，国家医学图书馆给它挂的副题是「科学与技术的进展」。

• The society behind the title is the International Organization on Shape Memory and Superelastic Technologies, an affiliate society of ASM International, which is why ASM appears in the partnership line.刊物背后的学会是国际形状记忆与超弹性技术组织，属 ASM International 的下属学会，版权页上的合作方因此写着 ASM。

• Four issues are the standing pattern, and volumes 4 through 8 of the journal carried between 47 and 59 papers each across the years 2018 to 2022.四期是定式，第 4 卷到第 8 卷在 2018 至 2022 年间各收 47 到 59 篇。

• Volume 9 for 2023 carried 61 papers and volume 10 for 2024 carried 49, so the count moves by a dozen without any change of scope at all.2023 年第 9 卷收 61 篇，2024 年第 10 卷收 49 篇，篇数一差就是一打，范围并没有变。

• Volume 11 for 2025 reached 69 papers, the largest of the recent volumes, and volume 12 had 49 papers across three issues when the record was read.2025 年第 11 卷到 69 篇，是近几卷里最多的一卷，第 12 卷读到记录时三期共 49 篇。

• The Journal Impact Factor was 2.6 for 2023, 2.4 for 2024 and 2.4 for 2025, while the five-year figure has held at 2.7 through the same years.影响因子 2023 年为 2.6，2024 年与 2025 年都是 2.4，五年影响因子这几年一直停在 2.7。

• It is third quartile in materials science, multidisciplinary, at 326 of 472 titles on the 31st percentile, measured in the Emerging Sources Citation Index edition of the release.材料科学综合类里它排第三区，472 种刊中列 326，百分位 31，计量所在新兴来源引文索引一版。

• The 2025 release records 1,048 citations and 62 citable items for the year, and 46.67 per cent of the articles are gold open access at publication.2025 年版记下总被引 1048 次、可引条目 62 篇，46.67% 的文章发表时即为金色开放获取。

• That ratio is high for a title that also sells subscriptions, and Springer describes the model as hybrid rather than fully open, which is how the fees page reads.这本刊同时也在卖订阅，这个比例不算低，施普林格把模式写作混合型，收费页面的说法也是这样。

• PubMed lists the title for selected citations only, which means the record there is not a complete account of everything the journal has published so far.PubMed 对该刊只做选摘，那里的记录并不是刊物至今发表内容的完整清单。

• The quarterly rhythm has held since 2015, so four issues make a volume, and no separate supplement series runs beside them, even in the years when the paper count jumped.季刊节奏自 2015 年起没有变过，四期成一卷，即便篇数跳涨的年份也没有另开增刊系列。

• Papers dated a year earlier sometimes land in the next volume, so volume 4 holds material carrying 2017 dates and volume 12 holds 2025 material as well.早一年定稿的论文有时落进下一卷，第 4 卷里有署 2017 年的内容，第 12 卷里也有署 2025 年的。

• The title has no MEDLINE indexing and nothing in PubMed beyond selected citations, which keeps it a materials journal rather than a clinical one in practice.刊物没有 MEDLINE 收录，PubMed 里也只有选摘，实际上它始终是材料类刊物，不往临床那边靠。

Editors

• Huseyin Sehitoglu holds the Nyquist Chair at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and serves as editor-in-chief, with the editorial office working out of that same campus in Illinois.主编 Huseyin Sehitoglu 在伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-尚佩恩分校任奈奎斯特讲座教授，编辑部也设在该校区。

• Tom Duerig, at Nitinol Devices and Components, is one of the seven, and his presence puts a device manufacturer on the editorial side of the table itself.美敦力器材公司的 Tom Duerig 是七人之一，编务这一侧因此有一位器械厂商。

• Dimitris Lagoudas at Texas A&M works on active materials and structures, and he represents the mechanics side of a journal that publishes a lot of constitutive modelling.得州农工的 Dimitris Lagoudas 研究活性材料与结构，代表的是本构模型发得很多的这本刊的力学一侧。
