This specialist book, the first of its kind, includes original and review articles which describe magnetic shape-memory alloys and the magnetic shape-memory effect. These topics are currently the object of world-wide research and development. In particular, the authors in the present book concentrated upon describing the phenomenological and microscopic mechanisms of the magnetic shape-memory effect, on the physical basis of the advanced properties of magnetic shape-memory alloys and on the structural aspects of martensitic transformations in both ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic shape-memory alloys. Several chapters are devoted to more general issues such as damping, the newly-discovered glassy martensite and modeling. The reader will also find copious information on technical applications and actuators which utilize shape-memory alloys with due consideration given to the relevant design principles and the analysis of simulation results. This book will therefore be of great interest to anyone working on the research or development aspects of smart materials.

Shape-memory polymers (SMP) are a unique branch of the smart materials family which are capable of changing shape on-demand upon exposure to external stimulus. The discovery of SMP made a significant breakthrough in the developments of novel smart materials for a variety of engineering applications, superseded the traditional materials, and also influenced the current methods of product designing. This book provides the latest advanced information of on-going research domains of SMP. This will certainly enlighten the reader to the achievements and tremendous potentials of SMP. The basic fundamentals of SMP, including shape-memory mechanisms and mechanics are described. This will aid reader to become more familiar with SMP and the basic concepts, thus guiding them in undergoing independent research in the SMP field. The book also provides the reader with associated challenges and existing application problems of SMP. This could assist the reader to focus more on these issues and further exploit their knowledge to look for innovative solutions. Future outlooks of SMP research are discussed as well. This book should prove to be extremely useful for academics, R&D managers, researcher scientists, engineers, and all others related to the SMP research.

Heusler type magnetic shape memory alloys (MSMAs) have gained a strong academic and practical importance during recent decades due to the giant effects they exhibit, particularly magnetostrain produced by magnetic field-induced twin boundaries motion and magneto(elasto)-caloric effects resulting from the magnetic field-induced martensitic transformation. This Special Issue intends to communicate the latest advances in R&D and theory of MSMAs. This book consists of a collection of eleven invited peer-reviewed papers, each detailing a particular aspect in the fundamental and/or applied investigation of MSMAs and related phenomena. The papers are a corpus of up-to-date information on the ongoing studies of MSMAs. It is hoped that this book will be useful to physicists and materials scientists, both specialists and graduate students, and enable future technological breakthroughs in engineering.

Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS). This volume contains the proceedings of the International Conference on Shape Memory and Superelastic Technologies and Shape Memory Materials (SMST-SMM 2001) which was held in Kunming, China, on the 2-6 September, 2001. This built on the SMST and SMM international conference series; thus making the present conference more international, and fostering a lively cross-fertilization which could only promote developments in both materials themselves and in their applications. The proceedings comprise 131 papers which cover all aspects of shape memory materials (SMM), and the application of shape memory and superelastic technologies (SMST). The main topics covered are: - Medical applications of Nitinol, and related issues concerning its bio-performance and surface modification, as well as industrial applications of NiTi-, Cu- and Fe-based shape memory alloys.
