Abstract
A two-phase constitutive model for shape memory alloys (SMAs) is proposed based on the fact that SMAs is dynamically composed of austenite and martensite. The behavior of SMAs is regarded as the dynamic combination of the individual behavior of each phase. This model can describe the main characteristics of SMAs, such as pseudoelasticity and shape memory effect. The corresponding numerical algorithm was also developed to describe the main features of shape memory alloy Au-47.5at.%Cd.
