This paper considers a thermomechanical model of shape memory alloys (SMA). This new model takes into account the non-isothermal character of the phase transformations, as well as the existence of the intrinsic dissipation. For the governing equations we prove existence, uniqueness and regularity in certain well chosen functions spaces.
