How Shape-Memory Materials Remember - with some diverse examples

These are posts by others on the question above. 

I will be posting more on definitive definitions, types and designers and engineer's items of interest of these materials including 'Shape Memory Materials' (SMM). This will be followed by a book on the topic.
