One of the first 1-D constitutive equations for shape memory alloys was presented by Brinson L.C in 1993 that became the base of later works typically. In Brinson’s equation, several proposed functions are considered in order to simplify the model and obtain the constitutive equation for SMA. In a recent paper V. R. Buravalla and A. Khandelwal (2007) have shown certain anomalies in Brinson’s model and have tried to present a modified model which unlike Brinson’s model satisfies the compatibility condition. However, their formulation, besides being lengthy, lacks clarity and in particular does not address proper expressions for transformation tensors Ωs and ΩT. In the present work, Brinson’s constitutive equation is derived from fundamental relations using a simple, clear-cut and straightforward approach. Without any extra and unnecessary assumption the consistency of the model is confirmed.

Shape memory alloys (SMA) are nowadays widely used in different industries. The two extraordinary behaviors of superelasticity and shape memory effect make these alloys a super wear-resistant material. In a range of SMA applications, contact between adjacent surfaces occurs. In this research, a formerly-developed contact model, which individually considers each asperity, is extended to cases where superelastic shape memory alloys are used. Since constitutive equations of SMAs are based on stress and strain, to establish a relationship between classical contact models and the main arguments of these constitutive equations, a representative strain based on the pseudoelastic behavior of SMAs was defined. Experiments were conducted to verify the model’s predictions. In these experiments, a NiTi wire was pressed against a Steel plate; then, the measured penetration in the test and the values predicted by the contact model were compared. The reported results show an acceptable agreement between theory and experiment.
