A micromechanics-inspired constitutive model for shape-memory alloys

Abstract

This paper presents a three-dimensional constitutive model for shape-memory alloys that generalizes the one-dimensional model presented earlier (Sadjadpour and Bhattacharya 2007 Smart Mater. Struct. 16 S51–62). These models build on recent micromechanical studies of the underlying microstructure of shape-memory alloys, and a key idea is that of an effective transformation strain of the martensitic microstructure. This paper explains the thermodynamic setting of the model, demonstrates it through examples involving proportional and non-proportional loading, and shows that the model can be fitted to incorporate the effect of texture in polycrystalline shape-memory alloys.
