Abstract
Based on the one-dimensional thermo-mechanical constitutive relation o f a shape-memory alloy (SMA) in which the dependence of the elastic mo dulus of SMA upon the martensite fraction is considered, a constitutiv e relation for the bending of a composite beam with eccentrically embe dded SMA wires has been developed. The deflection-temperature relation upon heating and cooling has been analysed for the SMA-reinforced com posite beam.
