Nonlocal Superelastic Model of Size-Dependent Hardening and Dissipation in Single Crystal Cu-Al-Ni Shape Memory Alloys

We propose a nonlocal continuum model to describe the size-dependent superelastic effect observed in recent experiments of single crystal Cu-Al-Ni shape memory alloys. The model introduces two length scales, one in the free energy and one in the dissipation, which account for the size-dependent hard...
