This book consists of five parts. Part 1 deals with the mechanism of shape memory and the alloys that exhibit the effect; Part 2 deals primarily with constrained recovery but to some extent with free recovery; Part 3 and 4 deal with actuators with part 3 introducing engineering principles and part 4 several specific examples; Part 5 deals with superelasticity
