This work demonstrates a thermomechanically coupled model for shape memory alloys, revealing its potential for advanced actuator design.

To develop a thermomechanically coupled material model for shape memory alloys that predicts their behavior in actuation applications.
Developed a fully thermomechanically coupled model for SMAs using the Generalized Standard Material framework.
Employed a rate potential to derive governing equations like momentum balance and energy balance.
Integrated a potential-based line search with a Newton-Raphson scheme for solution optimization.
Applied the model to design an out-of-plane bistable microactuator with two SMA microbridges.
Successfully predicted shape memory effect, superelasticity, and martensite reorientation in SMAs.
Demonstrated the bistable behavior of the actuator, capable of switching states under thermomechanical loading.
Highlighted the efficiency and accuracy of the model in simulating the complex responses of SMA devices.
