Abstract
It is analyzed why shape memory alloys (SMA), which could enhance reliability, safety, compactness and simplicity of technical objects are still used insufficiently. The reasons presented are as follows : lack of literature on SMA application and books on shape memory device (SMD) development ; need of metallophysicist support ; lack of calculation technique for high-speed SMD and representative information on heating, on influence of harmful factors. Some ways to accelerate the process of SMD implementation are proposed : application concepts ; publication of explanatory dictionaries "SMA Application" or "SMD", engineering design techniques and design estimates ; inter-company catalogue of standard SMD.
