These two key elements enable the author to introduce the main features associated with the behavior of shape-memory alloys (SMAs), i.e. the one-way shape-memory effect, pseudo-elasticity, training and recovery.\u003cbr\u003e Attention is paid in particular to the thermodynamical frame for solid materials modeling at the macroscopic scale and its applications, as well as to the particular use of such alloys - the simplified calculations for the bending of bars and their torsion. Other chapters are devoted to key topics such as the use of the \"crystallographical theory of martensite\" for SMA modeling, phenomenological and statistical investigations of SMAs, magneto-thermo-mechanical behavior of magnetic SMAs and the fracture mechanics of SMAs. Case studies are provided on the dimensioning of SMA elements offering the reader an additional useful framework on the subject.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
