The superelastic constitutive model implemented in the commercial finite element code ABAQUS is verified using the method of exact solutions (MES). An analytical solution for uniaxial strain is first developed under a set of simplifying assumptions including von Mises-like transformation surfaces, symmetric transformation behavior, and monotonic loading. Numerical simulations are then performed, and simulation predictions are compared to the exact analytical solutions. Results reveal the superelasticity model agrees with the analytical solution to within one ten-thousandth of a percent (0.0001%) or less for stress and strain quantities of interest when using displacement-driven boundary conditions. Full derivation of the analytical solution is provided in an Appendix, and simulation input files and post-processing scripts are provided as supplemental material.
