Numerical Investigation of Preload Process of Bolted Joint with Superelastic Shape Memory Alloy

A phenomenological constitutive model is developed to describe the uniaxial transformation ratcheting behaviors of the superelastic shape memory alloy (SMA) by employing a cosine–type phase transformation equation with the initial martensite evolution coefficient that can capture the featu...
