Tensile-compressive asymmetry and the ratcheting effect are two significant characteristics of shape memory alloys (SMAs) during uniaxial cyclic tests, thus having received substantial attention in research. In this study, by redefining the internal variables in SMAs by considering the cyclic accumulation of residual martensite, we propose a constitutive model for SMAs to simultaneously reflect tensile-compressive asymmetry and the cyclic ratcheting effect under multiple cyclic tests. This constitutive model is temperature dependent and can be used to reasonably capture the typical features of SMAs during tensile-compressive cyclic tests, which include the pseudo-elasticity at higher temperatures as well as the shape-memory effect at lower temperatures. Moreover, the proposed model can predict the cyclic mechanical behavior of SMAs subjected to applied stresses with different peak and valley values under tension and compression. Agreement between the predictions obtained from the proposed model and the published experimental data is observed, which confirms that the proposed novel constitutive model of SMAs is feasible.
