Dynamics of Smart Systems and Structures

Abstract

This chapter presents a general overview of shape memory alloys (SMAs). A discussion about thermomechanical behaviors is carried out establishing the most important characteristics of these alloys. Applications of SMAs in different areas of human knowledge are explained. Thermomechanical characterization is discussed considering different experimental procedures. Afterward, a brief review of constitutive models is presented. A model with assumed transformation kinetics is explored showing some numerical simulations.
