Abstract
The progress of thermoelastic martensitic transformation/MT/ in Cu-Al-Zn-Mn shape memory alloy/SMA/ polycrystals subjected to nonproportional thermomechanical loadings was investigated by combined tension and torsion of tubular specimens (T>>Af). The strain response of SMA polycrystal to various thermomechanical loadings along prescribed stress-temperature paths was examined. It has been shown that the SMA polycrystal can be loaded - unloaded repeatedly by the change of temperature and general combination of external forces of axial load and torque with relatively well defined, path dépendent but well reproducible strain path response.
