Abstract

This chapter aims to discuss selected applications of shape changing materials in different fields. Most of these examples involve shape memory alloys, particularly nitinol because at the present, this is the most established and reliable material for industrial applications. However, research efforts indicate that SMAs may be replaced by SMPs, ferrofluids, bimetals, or other novel materials in the future. The final section summarizes applications based on magnetorheological fluids.
