✦ Synopsis

The book consists of five parts. Part 1 deals with the mechanism of shape memory and the alloys that exhibit the effect. It also defines many essential terms that will be used in later parts. Part 2 deals primarily with constrained recovery, but to some extent with free recovery. There is an introductory paper which defines terms and principles, then several specific examples of products based on constrained recovery. Parts 3 and 4 deal with actuators, with part 3 introducing engineering principles and part 4 several of the specific examples. Finally part 5 deals with superelasticity, again with an introductory paper and then several specific examples of product engineering
