spectral decomposition allow<strong>in</strong>g the numerical computation of the model variables <strong>in</strong>a closed form.In the present contribution the phenomenological approach is preferred.Characteristic for such concepts is a macroscopic free energy function orthermodynamic potential that depends on <strong>in</strong>ternal variables which describe the stateof the phase transformation and can be related to the actual microscopic materialcharacteristics. These variables account for the material history which, <strong>in</strong> <strong>di</strong>ssipativephenomena, <strong>in</strong>fluences the material current behaviour (Germa<strong>in</strong> et al., 1983). Asuccessful phenomenological model is required to be thermodynamically consistentor, <strong>in</strong> other words, the entropy <strong>in</strong>equalities constitutes a constra<strong>in</strong>t to the admissibleconstitutive laws for real materials (Trusdell and Toup<strong>in</strong>, 1960; Trusdell and Noll,1992; Suquet 1995; Lemaitre and Chaboche, 1994). The constitutive model<strong>in</strong>g ofshape memory alloys is treated <strong>in</strong> the present work with<strong>in</strong> the framework of f<strong>in</strong>iteand <strong>in</strong>f<strong>in</strong>itesimal stra<strong>in</strong> regimes.25
