The interest in the mechanical behavior of shape memory alloys
(SMAs) is rapidly growing with the increasing number of potential
industrial applications. In most applications, SMAs experience
general non-proportional thermo-mechanical loadings. Thus,
according to experimental observations, the so-called variant
reorientation should be considered in the constitutive model
development. In this monograph, the SMA behavior under multiaxial
loadings at small and finite deformations is investigated. It is
shown that most available SMA models are basically the same under
proportional loadings while they yield different results under
non-proportional loading conditions. Based on the multiplicative
decomposition of the deformation gradient into elastic and
inelastic, several finite deformation SMA constitutive models are
proposed. A model which utilizes interesting properties of the
logarithmic strain is also introduced. A part of this monograph is
devoted to numerical implementation of the proposed constitutive
models. Several SMA-based applications, i.e., an SMA spring, a
Nitinol stent and a smart micro-gripper are simulated.
