Abstract

The study of polycrystalline shape memory alloys (SMAs) has been a scientific research topic of the utmost importance during the last 5 decades. The mathematical modeling of the very special thermomechanical response of SMAs represent an important issue for designing new applications and performing virtual testing of SMA devices. Literature devoted to the subject of modeling ...
