Abstract
A three-dimensional microplane constitutive model utilizing statically constrained formulation with volumetric—deviatoric split is presented for shape memory alloys (SMAs). Shear stress within each microplane is described by resultant shear component on the plane. One-dimensional stress—strain laws are used for normal and shear stresses on microplanes by considering suitable adjustments between the macroscopic and the microscopic quantities. The behavior of SMAs under simple and complicated loadings is studied. The model represents interaction between the stress components and the deviation from normality in the case of nonproportional loadings. The results are in good agreement with the existing theoretical and experimental findings.
