A Variational Derivation of Stoney-Like Formulas for Self-Stressed Bilayered Plates
Since the beginning of the 20th century, it is known that the spontaneous bending of heterogeneous bilayered plates correlates with the self-stress due to the contrast in the material properties of the two lay...

Shape recovery behaviour of NiTi strips in bending: experiments and modelling
We present a theoretical and experimental investigation of the bending recovery performances for a commercial NiTi shape memory alloy strip. We evaluate the mechanical properties and the shape setting paramete...

A constrained theory for single crystal shape memory wires with application to restrained recovery
The theory of thin wires developed in Dret and Meunier (Comptes Rendus de l’Académie des Sciences. Série I. Mathématique 337:143–147, 2003) is adapted to phase-transforming materials with large elastic moduli in ...

Weak Local Minimizers in Finite Elasticity
This paper deals with necessary conditions and sufficient conditions for a weak local minimum of the energy of a hyperelastic body. We consider anisotropic bodies of arbitrary shape, subject to prescribed disp...

Pressurized Shape Memory Thin Films
We study the behavior of a martensitic thin film with a hydrostatic pressure applied underneath the film. The problem is formulated in 3-D for a single crystal film of thickness h, and a Cosserat membrane theory ...
