abstract:
A large displacement finite rotation beam finite element formulation for shape memory alloy structural analysis is proposed. The Reissner-Mindlin beam model is considered in the total Lagrangian form. A reference configuration macroscopic constitutive model with internal variables is adopted for the evaluation of the stress components acting on the beam cross section. The computation of stress resultants and couples is performed iteratively using an algorithm that grants cross section equilibrium given material strain measures.
