- (ii)
- Evolution law of transition stressDue to incomplete reverse transition during loading cycles, the superelastic NiTi SMA shows the mixture state of the austenite and residual martensite phases. The transition stresses decrease with the increasing of cycle numbers. Thus, according to the experimental observations in [32], the evolution equations in exponential formulation were proposed by [33] to describe the progressive evolution of the transition stresses with increasing cycle numbers from their initial values to stable ones, and are introduced here as
