One-way Vs. Two-way Shape Memory
Shape-memory alloys have different shape-memory effects. Two common effects are one-way and two-way shape memory. A schematic of the effects is shown below.
The procedures are very similar: starting from martensite (a), adding a reversible deformation for the one-way effect or severe deformation with an irreversible amount for the two-way (b), heating the sample (c) and cooling it again (d).

Famous quotes containing the words two-way, shape and/or memory:
“Think of the child’s question as the start of a two-way conversation rather than a question-and-answer session. Sometimes it may be necessary to learn what children think about the subject and what misconceptions they may have before providing an answer.”
—Ruth Formanek (20th century)
“But a camel’s all lumpy
And bumpy and humpy—
Any shape does for me.”
—Charles Edward Carryl (1841–1920)
“That you’re wavin’ from the backroads by the rivers of my memory ever smilin’
Ever gentle on my mind.”
—John Hartford (b.1937)
