Dear sir ,
I have been trying to simulate shape memory effect using electrical current as input in comsol 4.2. I had a problem in giving material properties like coefficient of thermal expansion , electrical conductivity , relative permittivity .. Since Coefficient of thermal expansion, electrical conductivity have two values at two different states (matensite and austenite) can u suggest me how to proceed further and specify me how to give these values.

regards,
KrishnaChaitanya S

It is the same for me. Did you find something?, or do you have a simple model (for exampe, a SMA wire) to share?

It would be very helpful ;-)

Thanks

Hi,

I have not yet simulated the complete behaviour of SMA wire. To my understanding the behaviour is split into three states.

-> Thermal State : Employ Joule heating Physics to obtain a relation between Input current and temperature
-> Phase transformation state : write a differential equation for obtaining temperature Vs phase fraction relation
finally
-> Mechanical state : Write a differential equation to know the strain due to phase transformation.
