“…Indeed, SMA behavior has been investigated at all scales (microscopic, mesoscopic with volume fractions, macroscopic) and by means of a full menagerie of modelling perspectives. Even restricting to the realm of macroscopic-phenomenological models (which is the focus of this paper), the different modelling options available are many and diversified and the corresponding cross-validation is still under assessment [6,18,19,21,22,27,28,[35][36][37][38][39]42,43]. On the contrary, the mathematical treatment of full thermo-mechanical problems for SMAs is less developed for the only comprehensive results in this sense refer to either the original formulations or modifications of the Frémond [19] and the Falk and Konopka [17,18] models.…”
