Abstract

In accordance with at least one aspect of this disclosure, a structure can include a first body formed from a first material, and a second body disposed on or embedded within the first body. The second body includes a shape memory alloy configured to provide a first stress to the first body in a first state and a second stress to the first body in a second state. The shape memory alloy is configured to transition from the first and second state as a function of an applied activation energy.
