Abstract

The unique features characterizing shape memory alloys (SMAs), such as superelasticity and shape memory eﬀect, stimulate a deep investigation that aims at fully understanding their behavior through experimental tests. In the present work, we compare numerical results obtained using the phenomenological model proposed by Auricchio and Petrini in 2004 with some experiments carried out on SMA wires within S3T Roundrobin SMA modeling activities.
