The thermomechanical behavior of shape memory alloys (SMAs) may be modeled either by microscopic or macroscopic point of view. Shape memory, pseudoelasticity and thermal expansion are phenomena related to the SMA behavior. Constitutive models consider phenomenological aspects of these phenomena. The present contribution considers a one-dimensional constitutive model with internal constraint to describe SMA behavior including the effect of plastic strains. The proposed theory contemplates four phases: three variants of martensite and an austenitic phase. Different material parameters for austenitic and martensitic phases are considered. Thermal expansion phenomenon and plastic effects are also contemplated. Hardening effect is represented by a combination of kinematic and isotropic behaviors. A plastic-phase transformation coupling is incorporated into the model. A numerical procedure is developed and numerical results show that the proposed model is capable to capture the general thermomechanical behavior of shape memory alloys.
