Abstract
As an introduction, this chapter introduces the super-elasticity and shape memory effect of SMAs first, and then outlines the significant thermo-mechanical coupling effect under different loading rates and the functional fatigue and structural fatigue under cyclic loads of SMAs, finally briefly addresses the classification of SMAs and the content arrangement of successive chapters.
