Abstract: In the first part of this paper a short introduction to the mechanism of shape memory alloys (SMAs) is given and especially the NiTi alloys are described. Some examples for the application of these materials are presented. One is a quick changing actuator in car safety system. Some examples of different safety systems in modern cars are described and the material development of an adaptive safety system with SMAs is explained. Through the spontaneous conversion of the SMA when exceeding a critical temperature, a very fast and functional secure linear movement can be performed. It should be possible to implement SMAs with long time stability. Quick heating systems have been developed for this purpose to enable a quick and safe heating of the SM elements by using the actual current network system on board. In the second part a newly developed intramedullary nail with a device made of SMAs used for limb lengthening is presented. The benefit of such an alternative device is described together with the details of the designing. The usage of smart materials in mechanical design offers benefits like lower complexity of the device and is also close to bionic structures.
