Abstract

In this paper, the algorithm of Abaqus UMAT is introduced to analyze the shape memory alloy. The SMA has two main effects which show non-linearity. Due to this, it is hard to analyze SMA using analysis tools and to describe all of two effects. Therefore, in this study, the program using Abaqus UMAT based on Modified Brinson model is used to analyze SMA. The martensite fraction, the most important factor which defines SMA motion, is also calculated by Fortran program in UMAT. In addition, the tensile test of SMA specimen is conducted. The availability of algorithm is proved by comparing analysis to experimental result.
