The transformation behavior of shape memory alloys is simulated for complex loadings of stress, strain and temperature. Calculations are made by using the “Accommodation Model” which is a constitutive model for shape memory alloys considering the accommodation behavior of the transformation strain. Calculated results are given for the super elastic behavior, the shape memory effect, the structural behavior of a shape memory wire with a bias spring, etc. The effect of the plastic strain on the transformation strain is also investigated. Also, for the case of the multi-axial stress state, calculated results are presented for the transformation behavior in the axial and shear stress state. These results are compared with those obtained by the experiment where tube specimens of the Ti-Ni shape memory alloy are subjected to the axial and torsion loading.
