2D thermo-mechanical waves in SMA (Shape Memory Alloys) patches are simulated with a model derived for a special case of material transformations. The mathematical model includes the coupling effect between thermal andmechanical fields. It is shown that the classical 1D Falk dynamical model of SMA is a special case of the formulated 2D model. The differential algebraic approach is adopted for the numerical analysis. Computational experiments are carried out with small distributed mechanical loadings to analyze thermo-mechanical waves and coupling effects. Numerical results from 2D structures are compared with its 1D analog which is already been verified.
