Preface

The “smart” materials like shape memory alloys (SMAs) are a preferable choice for various aerospace, biomedical, automotive, industrial, and scientific applications due to their superior properties such as biocompatibility, light weightiness, robustness, and special properties in actuation, vibration, damping, and sensing. Since their inception to till date, there have been continuous research and developments efforts towards making fabrication and processing of these alloys easier. The main objective of this book is to disseminate research and developments as regards to the fabrication and processing of SMAs, and to facilitat
