8.1.2 Comparison between 3D and 3D-1D Constitutive ModelsThe 3D and 3D-1D constitutive laws presented for SMA are used to perform somenumerical applications and a <strong>di</strong>splacement based formulation is developedconsider<strong>in</strong>g a four-node solid 2D f<strong>in</strong>ite element and a three-node beam elementbased on the Timoshenko’s theory. In the first f<strong>in</strong>ite element the 3D full constitutivemodel is used to reproduce the shape-memory alloys behavior; <strong>in</strong> the beam f<strong>in</strong>iteelement the 3D-1D constitutive model <strong>in</strong> which the SMA phase transition isgoverned by the axial stress <strong>in</strong> the material is adopted. The analysis is developedassum<strong>in</strong>g a plane stress regime.The numerical <strong>in</strong>tegration along the beam length is performed us<strong>in</strong>g 3 Gauss po<strong>in</strong>tsper element. The cross-section <strong>in</strong>tegrals are computed <strong>di</strong>vi<strong>di</strong>ng each section <strong>in</strong> 100strips and us<strong>in</strong>g 3 Gauss po<strong>in</strong>ts <strong>in</strong> each strip.The follow<strong>in</strong>g material properties are assumed:E = 53000MPa ν = 0. 36 T = 245K ε = 0.04 h=1000MPa(8.3)β β σ σ0L-1 -1t= 2.1MPaKc= 1.8MPaKc= 72MPat= 56MPa Mf= 223K( ± )It can be noted that, on the basis of this set of material parameters, the follow<strong>in</strong>gSMA properties can be derived:σA = 230K A = 250Ks= 105MPaσ = 120MPat, fc,ff(8.4)8.1.2.1 Uniaxial responseFirst a uniaxial test is developed <strong>in</strong> order to show the ability of the constitutive modelto properly reproduce the superelastic and the shape-memory effect is considered.143
