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.
