AB  - The thermo-mechanical constitution of shape memory polymers (SMPs) is critical for predicting their deformation and recovery characteristics under different constraints. In this study, a new, physical-based, temperature and time-dependent constitutive model is proposed for simulating the thermomechanical response of SMPs. The deformation mechanisms of shape fix and shape recovery are analyzed. Different models are compared to compare strain and stress recovery responses with the experimental results.
