The concept of pseudo-elasticity is then generalized to extend arbitrary thermomechanical, even inelastic, material models to allow for softening effects.
In that study four postharvest stages were selected and each group named as: E1, firm fruit taken from packing; E2, fruit soften at 20°C; E3, fruit stored in a cold room at 4°C for three weeks; and E4, fruit stored at cold room and then kept at 20°C to allow for softening.

Add them to the pan and allow to soften for 10 minutes or so over a moderate heat.
Freezing and then thawing the coconut pieces prior to putting them in the food processor will soften the meat and may allow for more milk extraction.
Softening and melting of large-scale polymer samples allow for huge transfer films, providing low to extremely low friction and stabilisation in wear rates.
