Shape Memory Alloy Engineering, Second Edition builds upon the success of the first edition, while embracing the advancements in new materials, new systems and new applications. Readers will gain an understanding of the intrinsic properties of SMAs and their characteristic state diagrams, allowing for the design of innovative compact actuation systems. As with the first edition, the structure remains the same in order to guide the reader from the selection of the material, including the manufacturing aspects, the integration in actuator systems or other kind of devices (as dissipation and isolation elements), and the final applications to practical problems. In addition, a new section is solely dedicated to addressing modelling and design process aspects in order to provide the users with essential tools for product development and implementation to their specific problems. It also explores recent applications, dividing between consolidated commercial applications and correlated expected developments, as well as current research activities aimed at making up new devices for innovative implementations. The book realistically discusses both the potential of these fascinating materials as well as their limitations in everyday life, and how to overcome some of those limitations in order to achieve proper design of useful SMA mechanisms. Greatly expanded scope looking at new applications of the SMA devices and current research activities aimed at making up new devices for innovative implementations Covers all aspects of SMA technology - from a global state-of-the-art survey to the classification of the existing materials, from the basic material design, to the material manufacture, and from device engineering design to its implementation within actual systems Presents the material within a modular architecture over the different topics from the material conception to practical engineering realisations Includes a detailed bibliography with each chapter, providing the reader with a rich resource to further explore the different topics
