A Multiscale Analysis on the Superelasticity Behavior of Architected Shape Memory Alloy Materials

In this paper, the superelasticity effects of architected shape memory alloys (SMAs) are focused on by using a multiscale approach. Firstly, a parametric analysis at the cellular level with a series of representative volume elements (RVEs) is carried out to predict the relations between the void fra...
