to analyze the two-<strong>di</strong>mensional element response a regular mesh characterized by 10elements <strong>in</strong> the axial <strong>di</strong>rection and 1 element <strong>in</strong> the transversal one is considered.Fig. 8.2 shows the uniaxial force-<strong>di</strong>splacement response of a po<strong>in</strong>t along the freeedge of the two-<strong>di</strong>mensional element for the case of small and f<strong>in</strong>ite stra<strong>in</strong>s. It is<strong>in</strong>terest<strong>in</strong>g to observe: (1) the ability to completely recover the deformation dur<strong>in</strong>gthe loa<strong>di</strong>ng-unloa<strong>di</strong>ng cycle be<strong>in</strong>g at a temperature aboveAf, i.e. to reproduce thesuperelastic effect <strong>in</strong> a uniaxial state of stress; (2) the similar pre<strong>di</strong>ction of the smalland f<strong>in</strong>ite stra<strong>in</strong>s models except <strong>in</strong> the part of the curve correspon<strong>di</strong>ng to the end ofthe phase transition and the saturated phase transformation.hPLFig. 8.1: Geometry and boundary con<strong>di</strong>tions of the cantilever135
