In this work, a thermo-mechanical model that predicts the actuation response of shape memory alloys is probabilistically calibrated against three experimental data sets simultaneously. Before calibration, a design of experiments (DOE) has been performed in order to identify the parameters most influential on the actuation response of the system and thus reduce the dimensionality of the problem. Subsequently, uncertainty quantification (UQ) of the influential parameters was carried out through Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). The assessed uncertainties in the model parameters were then propagated to the transformation strain-temperature hysteresis curves (the model output) using first an approximate approach based on the variance-covariance matrix of the MCMC-calibrated model parameters and then an explicit propagation of uncertainty through MCMC-based sampling. Results show good agreement between model and experimental hysteresis loops after probabilistic MCMC calibration such that the experimental data are situated within 95 UQ/UP approach in decision making for experimental design has also been shown by comparing the information that can be gained from running replicas around a single new experimental condition versus running experiments in different regions of the experimental space.
