A thermodynamically consistent model of shape memory alloys in three dimensions is studied. The thermoelasticity system, based on the strain tensor, its gradient and the absolute temperature, generalizes the well-known one-dimensional Falk model. Under simplifying structural assumptions we prove global in time existence and uniqueness of the solution.
