In this paper we describe a new conservative difference scheme and apply it to the description of the dynamics of a shape memory alloy rod. The scheme preserves the conservation of the total energy on the grid. A major emphasis is given to the description of hysteresis effects in almost-elastic, pseudoelastic and quasiplastic regimes. Stress-strain dependencies are analysed and computational experiments are presented for main thermomechanical characteristics of the material, including displacement and temperature fields.
