Abstract
A connected thermomechanical boundary problem for an infinite shape memory alloy cylinder loaded by an axial force and subjected to heating or cooling from the surface is solved. The evolution of stress-strain state is calculated for a process of the transformation plasticity. The mechanical properties of a material point are given by a micromechanical model accounting for the deformations due to elasticity, thermal expansion and phase transformation. The obtained problem was solved numerically using the iterative procedure with a variable iterative parameter. The influence of the surface temperature rate and radius of cylinder on the transformation plasticity is investigated. It is shown, that the elongation due to the transformation plasticity effect decreases with the increasing temperature rate. The elongation also decreases with the increasing cylinder diameter. This phenomenon can be explained by an inhomogeneity of the temperature and stress fields causing different conditions for the phase transformation in different points of the body. Stress in the local region can overtop more than twice the mean value.

Shape memory materials are functional materials that can undergo large reversible strains with a change in temperature
The martensitic phase transformation, which underlies functional behavior of shape memory materials, is thermoelastic and has a latent heat, so that it depends on by both the temperature and stresses arising in an object from such a material
We modeled loading of cylinder by an axial force corresponding to the initial stress z = 100 MPa at a temperature of 350 K, subsequent cooling through the range of direct martensitic transformation
Summary
Shape memory materials are functional materials that can undergo large reversible strains with a change in temperature. The martensitic phase transformation, which underlies functional behavior of shape memory materials, is thermoelastic and has a latent heat, so that it depends on by both the temperature and stresses arising in an object from such a material. The problem on determining stresses and strains in shape memory bodies should be generally solved jointly with the heat conduction problem.
