at the value of T = 285Kand after the maximum value of the ben<strong>di</strong>ng load 83 Nmmis reached, the load is removed allow<strong>in</strong>g the element to recover the <strong>in</strong>itial con<strong>di</strong>tions.BhmLFig. 8.10: Geometry and boundary con<strong>di</strong>tions of the cantileverFig. 8.11 shows the ben<strong>di</strong>ng moment-<strong>di</strong>splacement response of the beam <strong>di</strong>scretizedwith two-<strong>di</strong>mensional f<strong>in</strong>ite elements together with the ones of the beam <strong>di</strong>scretizedus<strong>in</strong>g three-node beam f<strong>in</strong>ite elements. The results regard the transversal<strong>di</strong>splacement of the po<strong>in</strong>t B along the free edge of the elements. It is <strong>in</strong>terest<strong>in</strong>g toobserve: (1) the ability to completely recover the deformation dur<strong>in</strong>g the unloa<strong>di</strong>ngcycle be<strong>in</strong>g at a temperature aboveAf, i.e. the ability to reproduce the superelasticeffect also <strong>in</strong> a ben<strong>di</strong>ng state; (2) the ability of the proposed 3D-1D SMA model toreproduce the ben<strong>di</strong>ng behavior with good convergence properties and a reducedcomputational effort.148
