Abstract: | In this work we develop a finite-deformation-based, thermo-mechanically-coupled and non-local phenomenological theory for polycrystalline shape-memory alloys (SMAs) capable of undergoing austenite ↔ martensite phase transformations. The constitutive model is developed in the isotropic plasticity setting using standard balance laws, thermodynamic laws and the theory of micro-force balance (Fried and Gurtin, 1994). The constitutive model is then implemented in the ABAQUS/Explicit (2009) finite-element program by writing a user-material subroutine. Material parameters in the constitutive model were fitted to a set of superelastic experiments conducted by Thamburaja and Anand (2001) on a polycrystalline rod Ti–Ni. With the material parameters calibrated, we show that the experimental stress-biased strain–temperature-cycling and shape-memory effect responses are qualitatively well-reproduced by the constitutive model and the numerical simulations. We also show the capability of our constitutive mode in studying the response of SMAs undergoing coupled thermo-mechanical loading and also multi-axial loading conditions by studying the deformation behavior of a stent unit cell. |
