Shape memory alloys (also referred to as smart materials ,intelligent materials ,adaptive materials) are materials which have increasing range of engineering , aerospace, and biomedical applications. Smart materials can act as transducers and physical parameters converters. Some of them can convert energy from one form into another such as mechanical energy (stress) into a change in length (strain) or electrical energy (supplied electric field) to electric displacement. Others convert the thermal energy (change in temperature) into a change in entropy and the magnetic energy (supplied...
