Abstract
We consider quasi-static displacement-controlled loading through one stress cycle of a shape-memory tensile bar modeled as a one-dimensional, two-phase elastic solid. Our objective is to explore the effect on the associated hysteresis loop of various qualitatively different types of kinetic relations, bearing in mind certain features of such loops that have been observed experimentally. We show that when the model involves a kinetic relation that is 'unstable' in a definite sense, 'stick-slip' motion of the interface between phases and serration of the accompanying stress-elongation curve are both predicted at slow elongation rates. We also show that a 'nonhomogeneous' kinetic relation intended to model the effect of micro-obstacles on interface motion also leads to irregular interface motion and a serrated stress-elongation curve, in this case at all elongation rates.
