- The paper reports the incorporation of superelastic Nitinol in novel flextensional ultrasonic devices and demonstrates tunability through a controlled Nitinol phase transformation. The research led to an invited presentation at the IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium (https://ieee-uffc.org/ultrasonics/ultrasonics-symposia/) and led directly to funding by Stryker via an EPSRC Impact Acceleration Award (EP/P505534/1) to investigate flextensional transducers in surgical devices. The findings featured prominently in a successful EPSRC Programme Grant proposal, Surgery enabled by ultrasonics (EP/R045291/1, https://gow.epsrc.ukri.org/NGBOViewGrant.aspx?GrantRef=EP/R045291/1, £6,114,693), with industrial partners including Stryker and Thales to incorporate Nitinol in minimally invasive surgical devices.
