Lamellar specimens of Cu-Zn-Al Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) were trained in bending under as much as 500 cycles, until two-way shape memory effect (2WE) was obtained. Trained specimens were further tested by means of a hydraulic installation where, heating-cooling cycles were performed in oil conditions. Considering that the lower concave surface of the specimens was kept in compressed state while the upper convex surface was kept in elongated state,

In order to increase the compactness degree, different specimens were hot rolled at 1373 K and the last rolling pass was performed at four different temperatures: (i) room temperature (RT); (ii) 873 K; (iii) 1073 K and (iv) 1373 K. In order

Ultimately, its preservation below the sulfate reduction zone in marine sediments drives methanogenesis. Within the gas hydrate stability zone (GHSZ), methane production along continental margins can supersaturate pore fluids and lead to the formation
