Abstract: Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) is a special material, which have the ability to return to its original shape when it is heated. SMA is different from other materials due to its two unique properties- Shape Memory Effect (SME) and Superelasticity. When there is a limitation of shape recovery, these alloys promote high restitution forces. Because of these properties, there is a great technological interest in the use of SMA for different applications[6]. This paper focuses on the brief review on applications of SMA in different fields. They have applications in aircraft and spacecraft, civil structures, robotics, automotive, telecommunication, piping, medicine, optometry etc.
