Abstract
The specific behaviour of Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) is due to a solid-solid transformation called martensitic transformation [1]. This reversible transformation consists mainly in a shear without volume change and is activated either by stress or temperature. This partition between austenite (high temperature phase) and martensite (low temperature phase) is responsible for the specific properties of SMA: the superelastic behaviour (isothermal) and the one way shape memory effect (non-isothermal).
