As is well known, in recent decades, the development of SMAs has allowed innovative solutions and alternatives in biomedical applications and advanced engineering structures for aerospace and automotive industries as well as in sensor and actuation systems, among other sectors. Irrespective of this, designing and engineering using these special smart materials requires a solid background in materials science in order to consolidate their importance in these fields and to broaden their relevance for other new applications. The goal of this Special Issue is to foster the dissemination of some of the latest research devoted to these special materials from different perspectives.Technology: general issuesbicsscshape memory alloyscyclic testsfatigue testenergy dissipationearthquake engineeringNiTiNbanisotropytextureSMEpipe jointsNiTiselective laser meltingadditive manufacturinglattice structureEBSDsuperelasticitymetamagnetic shape memory alloysstructural defectsmagnetocaloric effectmechanical dampingmartensitic transitionsphonon softeningresonant ultrasound spectroscopylaser-ultrasoundelastic constantshigh-temperature shape memory alloystitanium palladiumtitanium platinummulti-component alloysmedium-entropy alloyshigh-entropy alloyslaser powder bed fusiondensity controlstructure controlprocess simulationshape memory alloyFe-Mn-Al-Nicyclic heat treatmentco-based Heusler alloymartensitic transformationmetamagnetic shape memory alloyphase diagrammagnetic-field-induced transitionintermetallicmicrostructuredifferential scanning calorimetryX-ray diffractionmechanical testingTechnology: general issuesLopez Gabriel Aedt1287633Lopez Gabriel AothBOOK9910557646903321Shape Memory Alloys 20203020234UNINA
