The present paper develops a refined and general three-dimensional phenomenological
constitutive model for shape memory alloys (SMAs), along the lines of what recently …

The present paper focuses on the numerical simulation of quasi-static problems involving
shape memory alloy (SMA) structures or components. Phenomenological constitutive …

This paper is concerned with the large-time behaviour of shape-memory alloys structures
when they are submitted to a given loading history. Extending the approach introduced by …

We present an estimate for the effective energy of polycrystalline shape memory alloys that
takes both intra-grain compatibility conditions and inter-grain constraints into account. That …

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) offer interesting perspectives in various fields such as
aeronautics, robotics, biomedical sciences, or structural engineering. The distinctive …

Non-smooth mechanics is concerned with systems for which constraints are imposed on the
physical quantities or their time derivatives. This article addresses the asymptotic behaviour …

We study the coupled thermo-mechanical problem that is obtained by combining
generalized standard materials with Fourier's law for heat conduction. The analysis is …

Components based on shape‐memory alloys are often subjected to several loading cycles
that result in substantial alteration of material behavior. In such a framework, accurate …

The special features in the material behavior of shape memory alloys (SMAs) are due to
their ability to spontaneously transform between different crystallographic phases. In order to …

The prediction of fatigue in materials and structures is usually based on experimental
Wohler curves, relating the number of cycles to failure to the amplitude of the applied cyclic …
