Abstract Shape memory alloys (SMAs) have the ability to ‘memorise’ or recover their previous form when subjected to thermal, thermomechanical or magnetic variations. This ability has resulted in a new class of materials for engineering applications in the aerospace, medical, automotive and home appliance sectors. This chapter surveys SMAs and the developments for aerospace applications.
