Abstract

In this paper, we present a computationally efficient implementation of a continuum mechanical model for shape memory alloys into a finite element code. The model covers several thermomechanically coupled effects typical for the material behaviour of shape memory alloys, e.g. pseudo‐elasticity, the one‐way shape memory effect and the two‐way shape memory effect due to external loads. Via the use of a finite element formulation based on only one Gauss point, the computational effort is reduced enormously.

This paper presents a new Dynamic Finite Element (DFE) formulation for the vibrational analysis of spinning beams. A non-dimensional formulation is adopted, and the frequency dependent trigonometric shape functions are used to find a simple frequency dependent element stiffness matrix which has both
