Modelling SMA embeded in composite beam

Submitted by erismy1 on

How to model SMA wire embeded in composite beam using Abaqus using 3D solid extrusion?

The model is cantilever beam of composite in which the SMA wire is embeded in neutral axis of the beam.

I only simulate deflection.

The simulation without SMA has been succesfully done which show deflection when applied load at the tip( free end)
