This paper focuses on the thermo-mechanical behaviors of a shape memory alloy (SMA) plate with a circular hole under biaxial uneven tension. The phase transformation behaviors of SMA under complex stress state are formulated based on the one-dimensional phase transformation model developed by Zhou and Yoon. The stress field equation of the SMA plate with a circular hole is derived according to linear elastic mechanics. The phase transformation behaviors near the region around the circular hole are numerically simulated under different conditions of applied stress.

A medical needle is described that allows injection to take place at multiple sites through a single stab wound. This is achieved by extruding multiple, thin, and curved internal needles from a larger, straight, outer needle. The development and finite element modelling of the shape memory alloy (SMA) inner needles is presented in this paper. A non-linear elastic element model was used in this process to allow for the non-linear properties of the alloy and the large deformations that occur. The model provided maximum strain values and penetration forces for the inner needles. The deformation force on the tip of the needle was measured against displacement to confirm the predicted penetration force. Applications for the device include the treatment of liver cancer by direct injection of alcohol into the tumours.

Detailed finite-element calculations are carried out to examine the path-dependence of the J-integral in a pseudoelastic Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) for mode I loading under the approximation of linear kinematics. The evolution equation for the transformation strain is consistent with the classical rate-independent J2 flow theory. The small-scale nonlinearity assumption is employed using a boundary layer approach, wherein the actual boundary conditions have been replaced by the requirement of an asymptotic approach to the linear elastic inverse-square-root stress/strain distribution at large distances from the crack tip. The J-integral is found to be path-dependent inside the transformation zone, close to the crack tip.

The thermal shape recovery shown by shape memory alloys is a property that makes these materials very attractive for applications in the field of smart structures, e.g. bending actuators. This article shows a design method for coaxial bimorphs that are composed of a linear-elastic and shape memory alloy component, properly coupled. A simple and effective method is proposed to solve for the component designs in order to achieve given bimorph configurations. Analytical examples and finite-element simulations are shown for the case of assigned bimorph's warm shape.

This paper focuses on the thermo-mechanical behaviors of a shape memory alloy (SMA) plate with a crack of mode I. A phase transformation equation is supposed to express the phase transformation behaviors of SMA under complex stress state. The stress field near the crack tip is described based on linear elastic mechanics. The martensitic phase transformation zones near the crack tip at various temperatures are numerically determined.

The homogenization procedure of Ponte Castan˜eda is used to estimate the effective behavior of active composite materials consisting of aligned shape memory alloy (SMA) fibers embedded in a linear elastic matrix. Results are presented for thermal activation of the SMA with various applied tractions on the composite. While increasing stiffness of the matrix phase inhibits the contraction of the SMA, the simulations indicate that the use of a prestress in the manufacturing of the composite may provide an increase in the response time of the system without reducing performance.
