A Constitutive Description for Shape Memory Alloys with the Growth of Martensite Band

Based on the experimental results and the finite element analysis, a constitutive model is proposed for two phase shape memory alloys by introducing a compensative volumetric strain into a constrained relationship between the two phases, accounting for the reduced constraint due to the growth of mar...
