Given a set of inelastic material models, a microstructure, a macroscopic structural geometry,
and a set of boundary conditions, one can in principle always solve the governing equations …

In order to choose an effective method for improving the seismic performance of an ancient
pagoda called the Small Wild Goose Pagoda, 12 damping devices of varying properties are …

The cyclic performance of cylindrical SMA actuators are investigated, taken into account the
individual effects of the (1) selected SMA material,(2) geometric configuration of the actuator …

The phenomenon of functional fatigue occurs during cyclic loading of pseudoelastic shape
memory alloys. We model this effect by considering an irreversible martensitic volume …

In this contribution, a modelling framework for functional fatigue in shape memory alloy wires
is introduced. The approach is in particular designed to reproduce the effective response …

Phase transformations in steel have a high impact on the material properties. The material is
modified by a changed stiffness as well as residual stresses which are a result of …

Based on our previous works, we present the finite-element implementation of an energy-
based material model that displays the effect of functional fatigue of shape memory alloys …

In various engineering applications, components subjected to high mechanical or multi‐
physical loads such as thermal, thermo‐mechanical, or electro‐thermal loads are …

Shape memory alloys are attractive materials for industrial applications. A requirement for
this usage are material models which are able to predict the microstructural processes. The …

The effect of transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) describes the coupling of plastic
deformations and solid/solid phase transformations in steel. A result of this complex …
