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)

Chair in Engineering Materials, University of Exeter.
The University of Exeter is seeking a full Professor in the field of Engineering Materials.
The University is significantly expanding its capacity in Science and Engineering, with 275 million
GBP (approx 440M USD) capital spend on campus and 80M GBP (130M USD) on new academic staff.
A post-doctoral position is available in the Dept. of Chemical Engineering at the
University of Pittsburgh to conduct experimental research on developing
"morphing surfaces" that change topology by developing features such
as bumps, folds, spikes, etc. The post-doctoral fellow will develop (1)
surfaces that undergo a change in topology in response to applied stimuli, (2)
methods to control the shape and location of the morphing features on the
surface, and (3) quantitative or heuristic models to guide the design of
texture-changing surfaces.
