Description and Simulation of Shape Memory

  • Conference paper

Summary

Shape memory and pseudoelasticity provide a paradigma of thermomechanical interaction in a solid. In a schematic manner we describe some observed properties of shape memory alloys and we proceed to simulate them by a structural model. The exploitation of the properties of the model uses simple ideas from statistical mechanics and from the theory of activated processes.
