Basically, SMA presents two well-defined crystallographic phases, i.e., austenite and<br />

martensite. Martensite is a phase that is easily deformed, reaching large strains (~8%), and<br />

in the absence of stress, is stable only at low temperatures; in addition, it can be induced by<br />

either stress or temperature. The kinematics associated with the martensitic phase<br />

transformation in a single crystal is described for a cubic <strong>to</strong> tetragonal and cubic <strong>to</strong><br />

monoclinic transformation, and the lattice invariant strain by plastic slip is discussed (Pa<strong>to</strong>or<br />

et al.,2006). When the martensitic transformation takes place, numerous physical properties<br />

are modified. During the transformation, a latent heat associated with the transformation is<br />

absorbed or released based on the transformation direction. The forward, austenite-<strong>to</strong>martensite<br />

transformation is accompanied by the release of heat corresponding <strong>to</strong> a change<br />

in the transformation enthalpy (exothermic phase transformation). The reverse, martensite<strong>to</strong>-austenite<br />

transformation is an endothermic phase transformation accompanied by<br />

absorption of thermal energy. For a given temperature, the amount of heat is proportional <strong>to</strong><br />

the volume fraction of the transformed material.<br />

5.2 Symmetry cases of Nitinol crystallographic phases<br />

We present the elasticity matrix for the crystallographic phases of Nitinol. For the trigonal<br />

crystallographic structure, the matrix [S] has the expression:<br />
