      Focusing on shape memory alloys (SMA), this book explores their application in microsystems technology, particularly in the development of microactuators like microvalves and linear actuators. It details the journey from concept to prototype, emphasizing innovative three-dimensional modeling and coupled simulations that address complex actuator geometries. The text introduces mechanical and thermal optimization criteria for actuator design, highlighting prototypes such as SMA microgrippers that surpass traditional components in performance.
