Abstract
AbstractIn this paper, the cyclic behavior of a Nitinol cubic block is described by using the Bouc‐Wen model [2] coupled to the intrinsic time measure, other than the clock time which governs the behavior of the materials [4]. The modified Bouc‐Wen model consists from the classical Bouc‐Wen model coupled to the intrinsic time measure, other than the clock time which governs the behaviour of the materials. As a consequence, the thermodynamic admissibility of the Bouc–Wen model is provided by the endochronic theory of plasticity. The role of the intrinsic time measure is described by capturing the stiffness and strength degradation and the opposite phenomena. (© 2016 Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
