A Short Review on Constitutive Modelling of the Shape Memory Alloys-1

Abstract

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) received significant attention by biomedical, aerospace and automotive industries due to their captivating properties called shape memory effect (SME) and Pseudo elasticity. However, the applications of these alloys are mostly found to be biocompatible, and are very sensitive to aerospace and automotive applications. This realization of developing the materials amenable to both aerospace and automotive applications along with biomedical applications needs an assignment of developing suitable constitutive model, to understand the behavior of these materials in different environments. As a result, the present paper emphasizes a short review on various constitutive models, cited in the global scientific community allowing to understand the significance of shape memory alloys, and also suggests essential facts required for developing new models.
