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 issuesbicsscadditive manufacturinganisotropyco-based Heusler alloycyclic heat treatmentcyclic testsdensity controldifferential scanning calorimetryearthquake engineeringEBSDelastic constantsenergy dissipationfatigue testFe-Mn-Al-Nihigh-entropy alloyshigh-temperature shape memory alloysintermetalliclaser powder bed fusionlaser-ultrasoundlattice structuremagnetic-field-induced transitionmagnetocaloric effectmartensitic transformationmartensitic transitionsmechanical dampingmechanical testingmedium-entropy alloysmetamagnetic shape memory alloymetamagnetic shape memory alloysmicrostructuremulti-component alloysn/aNiTiNiTiNbphase diagramphonon softeningpipe jointsprocess simulationresonant ultrasound spectroscopyselective laser meltingshape memory alloyshape memory alloysSMEstructural defectsstructure controlsuperelasticitytexturetitanium palladiumtitanium platinumX-ray diffractionTechnology: general issuesLopez Gabriel Aedt1287633Lopez Gabriel AothBOOK9910557646903321Shape Memory Alloys 20203020234UNINA
