... by a low value of the SMA volume fraction. The average strain in the cell is denoted as ε¯ , while a prescribed strain γ is considered in the inclusion. • the inelastic strain due to the martensite transformation is assumed acting only along the fiber direction; • the stress governing...

...Yuwei Chi; Thomas J. Pence; Hungyu Tsai We study the equilibrium stress field in an annulus composed of a material that admits stress-induced displacive phase transformation that preserves volume. A standard example is the austenite to martensite transformation in shape memory alloys. Attention...

...C. Garion; B. Skoczen A simplified model of martensitic transformation in stainless steels at cryogenic temperatures is proposed. The constitutive modeling of plastic flow under cryogenic conditions is based on the assumption of small strains (⩽0.2). The hardening law for the biphase material (α...
