Shape Memory Alloys(SMA)

Post by a_farhid »

Hi
I'm a M.Sc. student at SUT and regarding to my M.Sc. Project I have to model a steel structure with beam-to-column connections equipped with shape memory alloys. I think I have to model simple beam-column connection and add a torsional spring on the joints with the moment-rotation response of SMA connections. Does OpenSees have a feature to simulate superelastic behavior of Shape Memory Alloys(transfomation between Austenitic and Martensitic phases and recentering)?
Thank you.
