Two-Way Coupled Statement of the Problem of Loss of Stability due to Inverse Thermoelastic Phase Transition in a Shape Memory Alloy

Abstract

A two-way coupled statement of stability problem for shape memory alloy elements is given in the framework of the “fixed load” and “variable load” concepts. It is shown that the largest values of the critical parameters are obtained when solving the problem in the two-way coupled statement in the framework of the “fixed load” concept and the least values are obtained in the oneway coupled statement in the framework of the “variable load” concept.
