An Explicit Approach Toward Modeling Thermo-Coupled Deformation Behaviors of SMPs

A new elastoplastic J 2 -flow models with thermal effects is proposed toward simulating thermo-coupled finite deformation behaviors of shape memory polymers. In this new model, an elastic potential evolving with development of plastic flow is incorporated to characterize the stress-softening...
