Claim 8:
9. The method according to claim 8, wherein the SMP-N components have a selectively engineered shape recovery temperature (Tr) between approximately 0° C. to 130° C., and when TrN and TrN+1 are higher than room temperature, the threads, fibers, tubes, or tapes are configured to assume a substantially helical configuration upon heating to above the TrN and lower than the TrN+1 by a stimulus when an elongation of the threads, fibers, tubes, or tapes is approximately 30% to approximately 300%, and having a coil diameter from 0.5 to 10 mm and a number of the turns per cm from 5 to 30.
