Shape memory alloys have become in the past decades a well established research subject. However, the complex relations between properties and structure have created a continuously growing interest for a deeper insight all this time. The complexity of relationships between structure and properties is mostly related to the fact that strong ?multidimensional? interactions are taking place: from the early studies focusing on the thermal and/or mechanical induced phase transformations to the more recent findings on the magnetically induced structural changes. On the other hand, these singular behavioral characteristics have driven a great industrial interest due to the innovative aspects that. | SHAPE MEMORY ALLOYS -PROCESSING CHARACTERIZATION AND APPLICATIONS Edited by Francisco Manuel Braz Fernandes Shape Memory Alloys - Processing Characterization and Applications http 2576 Edited by Francisco Manuel Braz Fernandes Contributors .
