Hysteretic behaviour of shape memory alloys (SMAs) is highly important for design and applicability of these materials in active structural elements like rods. Especially the damping performance of SMAs depend strongly on their hysteretic characteristics. Experimental investigations show the influences of stress on the hysteretic cycle. The current study shows some computational results of a constitutive model which is capable to investigate the effect of an external applied stress field on the hysteretic cycle according to a recently developed method on the basis of statistical mechanics method
