Description: The ability of metallic objects to change shape spontaneously when heated or cooled, has long fascinated observers, though design engineers have been slow to find uses for the phenomenon. This is not surprising given the revolutionary changes in the basic philosophy of engineering and design that are required when working with shape memory alloys. Here, after a detailed engineering explanation of its origin, various uses of the effect are explored. Four types of application are considered: free recovery, constrained recovery, actuators, and superelasticity. Descriptions have been written with engineers in mind.
