Shape memory alloy material models including plasticity implemented in ABAQUS
I am working with shape memory alloys (nitinol), and am in that respect investigating fracture behaviour of NiTi, using, among other things, simulations in ABAQUS. ABAQUS doesn't have a material model that include plasticity unless you pay for it. I am wondering if anyone have implemented either of the following models as a UMAT, and if you are willing to share the code with me.
The models I am interested in are:

Power loss and electromagnetic energy density in a dispersive metamaterial medium
fatigue crack growth
Having glanced at the web site I can see that it might be useful to shed some light on fatigue crack growth and crack closure based concepts.
