【 摘 要 】

This article presents a timely review of thermomechanical behaviours, recent structural applications, and researches of shape memory alloys (SMAs) in civil engineering. SMAs are used in a variety of fields, such as mechanical, aeronautical and medical fields. Other fields of knowledge have been researching these materials, attracted by their superb shape memory effect and pseudoelasticity under mechanical and thermal conditions. This article not only reports a bibliographic review on the constitutive models and thermodynamic properties for SMAs, but also describes the attributes of SMAs that make them ideally suitable to structural control, intelligent structure and structural damage repair.
