Our aim is to examine from the continuum thermodynamic point of view, some models predicting the pseudoelastic behaviour of shape memory alloys. We investigate the choice of states variables, the structure of free energy and complementary laws. A special emphasis is made on generalized standard models. In the state of art, there is a lot of progress to do for modelling the behaviour of shape memory alloys.
