Thermomechanical constitutive modeling and numerical implementation of polycrystalline shape memory alloy materials /

A thermomechanical description of the martensitic phase transformation and the associated shape memory effect in polycrystalline shape memory alloys (SMAs) is presented. The rate-independent constitutive relations are derived in the stress- temperature space using a Lagrangian formulation. The Kuhn-...
