Highly Nonlinear

Smart materials, such as thermal or magnetic shape memory alloys, provide interesting characteristics for new solid state actuators. However, their behavior is highly nonlinear and determined by strong hysteresis effects. This complex behavior must be adequately considered in simulation models which can be applied for efficient actuator design and optimization. We present a new phenomenological lumped element model for magnetic shape memory alloys (MSM). The model takes into account the two-dimensional hysteresis of the magnetic field induced strain as a function of both the compressive stress and the magnetic flux density. It is implemented in Modelica. The model bases on measured limiting hysteresis surfaces which are material specific. An extended Tellinen hysteresis modeling approach is used to calculate inner hysteresis trajectories in between the limiting surfaces. The developed model provides sufficient accuracy with low computational effort compared to finite element models. Thus, it is well suited for system design and optimization based on network models. This is demonstrated with exemplary models of MSM based actuators. System models and simulation results are shown and evaluated for different topologies.

Niti Shape Memory Alloys

In this study, NiTi shape memory alloys coupled in series with Al are considered as building blocks for thermal diodes. It is shown that the strong nonlinearity in the temperature-dependent thermal properties of NiTi in conjunction with the very different thermal properties of Al can result into a thermal diode of high thermal rectification ratio. As a first level of study, Ni50Ti50 is considered and the effects of various NiTi-Al geometrical configurations, initial temperature, and temperature difference at two ends on the thermal rectification ratio are studied numerically. Within the adopted temperature range (300–400 K, where phase transformation in NiTi occurs), it is shown that NiTi-Al thermal diodes are feasible with rectification ratio up to 4.8, which is quite higher than the ratios in currently known solid-state thermal diodes. This fundamental computational study could provide an important basis and motivation for the development of the next generation of high-temperature solid-state thermal diodes based on smart material such as NiTi shape memory alloys or others.

Memory Characteristics

The examination of solid state processes leading to the degradation of the shape memory behaviour is essential with respect to the suitability of shape memory alloys. Besides degradation processes occurring during relatively long periods of time called ageing, bainitic reactions that suddenly degrade the shape memory behaviour were also observed in many Cu-based shape memory alloys. The mechanisms and effects of the bainitic reactions on the shape memory characteristics were investigated in many Cu-based systems, but the kinetic of the reaction was not examined so far. In the present paper, an examination was carried out on a CuAlNiMn and a CuAlNiMnFe shape memory alloy to reveal what kinetic model describes the bainitic reaction occurring and thus completely destroying the shape memory effect during one stage of heating.
