Several material models for shape memory alloys have been developed during the previous funding periods of this collaborative research center.  The subproject B12 will make these models available for finite element simulations of shape memory components by using standardized interfaces to common finite element codes. The efficiency and applicability of the different models is going to be analyzed by means of benchmark problems. Moreover, this subproject will support the research center on its way towards small scale structures by carrying out molecular dynamical and  continuum mechanical simulations of nano-indentation experiments. These simulations are expected to provide a further insight into the interaction of dislocations and martensitic microstructures.
