“…Moreover, in the literature, certain studies on composite beams with SMA reinforcement (Baz and Ro 1992), composite plates with SMA fibers (Rogers et al 1991, Ro andBaz 1995), and strips (Lagoudas et al 1997) have been reported. Micromechanical analyses on composites with SMA reinforcement have been performed by Boyd and Lagoudas (1994), Lagoudas et al (1994), Cherkaoui et al (2000), Wang and Shen (2000), Song and Sun (2000), Marfia (2005), Collard et al (2008), Lester et al (2011) using the self-consistent and/or Mori-Tanaka methods and by Kawai et al (1999) using the method of cells. The Mori-Tanaka method has also been utilized to study SMAs with precipitates (Piotrowski et al 2012).…”
