β¦ Synopsis
The aim of this paper is to examine the impact of the choice of "plasticity theory-inspired" SMA model in the prediction of the shape of phase transformation domains. In this field a comparison is made between Huber-Von Mises based model and an another integrating the asymmetry between tension and compression. Two situations are observed (i) A classical mode I loading on a plate with a crack. The effect of the asymmetry intensity is important for plane stress conditions, not for plane strain ones. (ii) A problem of delamination between a SMA (shape memory alloy) and an elastic solid, reveales that taking into account the asymmetry has negligible impact on the size and the shape of the phase transformation surface generated in SMAs.

This paper presents a modified Weibull stress model which accounts for the effects of plastic strain and stress triaxiality at the crack tip region. The proposed model is applied to predict cleavage fracture in a modified A508 pressure vessel steel. It is demonstrated that the Weibull modulus (m) re
Ballistic requirements in the design of military aerospace components are critical for the structural assessment. Although experimental tests remain fundamental, numerical analyses allow us to simulate such a very complex scenario. However, in order to improve the consistency of such simulations, se
## Abstract Most devices based on shape memory alloys experience large rotations and moderate or finite strains. This motivates the development of finiteβstrain constitutive models together with the appropriate computational counterparts. To this end, in the present paper a threeβdimensional finite
