Abstract :
Shape memory alloy is one of the materials classified as ´smart´ materials. Its anomalous behaviour has gained more attention in the field of engineering. There are numerous mathematical models that have been developed to analyze its behaviour. In this paper, a newly developed constitutive model for shape memory alloy is presented. The features of the newly developed model are presented and compared with some of the existing models.
