Nanoporous Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) are widely used in aerospace, military industry, medical and health and other fields. More and more attention has been paid to its mechanical properties. In particular, when the size of the pores is reduced to the nanometer level, the effect of the surface effect of the nanoporous material on the mechanical properties of the SMA will increase sharply, and the residual strain of the SMA material will change with the nanoporosity. In this work, the expression of Young’s modulus of nanopore SMA considering surface effects is first derived, which is a function of nanoporosity and nanopore size. Based on the obtained Young’s modulus, a constitutive model of nanoporous SMA considering residual strain is established. Then, the stress–strain curve of dense SMA based on the new constitutive model is drawn by numerical method. The results are in good agreement with the simulation results in the published literature. Finally, the stress-strain curves of SMA with different nanoporosities are drawn, and it is concluded that the Young’s modulus and strength limit decrease with the increase of nanoporosity.

ABSTRACTQuasicrystalline films were formed by RF sputtering from a powder composite target onto Inconel substrates, which produces a polymorphic nanoquasicrystalline grain structure, ~2.5 - 10 nm. Subsequent annealing at 500°C for 4 hours, at base pressures of below 5*10-5 Torr, and with Ar flow to 5 - 10 mT, fully develops the quasicrystalline structure with decagonal phase predominating, except near the termination surface. Analysis by XPS indicated extensive oxygen incorporation and limited aluminum enrichment at the termination surface. These results are correlated with structure and strain analysis via synchrotron grazing incidence x-ray scattering (GIXS). By varying the incident angle, hence the x-ray penetration depth, the evolution of an amorphous and crystalline crystalline secondary phases at the surface of the film has been detected. Residual strain analysis shows that this second phase induces a compressive residual strain of 0.10% as measured from the displacement of the major quasicrystalline peaks in the surface layers of the film.

In this study the mechanisms of transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP), detwinning-induced plasticity (DIP), and accumulation of residual martensite, are incorporated into a finite-deformation crystal plasticity model of NiTi SMA for the first time. The constitutive model is constructed at the single-crystal scale and also includes phase transformation and detwinning mechanisms. Using a proposed Helmholtz free energy, the driving forces for inelastic mechanisms are derived within the framework of thermodynamics. The constitutive model has been implemented in the Abaqus/Explicit finite-element program, using VUMAT subroutine to simulate a polycrystalline material. Considering various orientations for crystals, the effect of texture on tension-compression asymmetry is investigated. It is shown that different textures may cause stiffer, softer, or similar response in compression compared to tension. Due to the incorporation of the effect of residual martensite, the model provides accurate predictions of experimentally measured residual strain. The incorporation of the aforementioned inelastic deformation mechanisms is shown to accurately capture the key features related to cyclic loading. Finally, the effect of detwinning-induced plasticity in compressive cyclic loading of NiTi SMA is investigated. In strain-controlled cyclic compression-unloading tests DIP leads to a less negative peak stress and a more negative residual strain following several loading cycles.

Abstract A novel non-bonded interface technique (NBIT) is used to analyze internal residual strain by combining a pre-split sample of AISI 4340 steel with the circular grid residual strain analysis technique. NBIT is compared with an implicit non-linear finite element (FE) model using LS-DYNA. A split FE model was compared with a quarter FE model to determine the split interface that causes an average difference of 9.0% on the residual von Mises strain field from a 588.6 N indentation. The homogeneous FE quarter model was then compared with the experimental split model using 588.6, 981.0, and 1471.5 N indentation forces. An average displacement difference of 3.92 µm was found when comparing the experimental split and FE homogeneous samples from a 588.6 N indentation. The internal residual major and minor principal strains from the split experimental sample and homogeneous FE model were compared for each indentation force. The minor principal strain results show the 588.6, 981.0, and 1471.5 N indentation forces resulted in a difference between the experimental split and homogeneous FE model of 28.5%, 34.8%, and 26.0%, respectively. The difference between the comparisons was explained by the inability of the FE model to simulate local non-homogeneous material properties such as grain composition and orientation whereas NBIT does. NBIT can be used for micro- or macro-scale residual strain analysis as the spatial resolution is highly adjustable.

Super-elastic shape memory alloys are widely used in structural engineering fields due to their encouraging super-elasticity and energy dissipation capability. Large-size shape memory alloy bars often present significant residual strains after unloading, which emphasizes the necessity of developing a residual strain effect–coupled constitutive model to predict well the performance of shape memory alloy–based structures. First, this article experimentally studies the hysteretic behavior of NiTi shape memory alloy bars under quasi-static loading conditions and investigates the effects of cyclic numbers and strain amplitudes on residual strain. Second, a concept of cumulative transformation strain is preliminarily introduced into a phenomenological Lagoudas model. A uniaxial constitutive model for shape memory alloy bars including the residual strain is proposed. By using OpenSees platform, numerical simulations of shape memory alloy bars are conducted—the results of which indicate that the proposed model can accurately capture the hysteretic behavior of shape memory alloys. The predicted residual strains show a good agreement to experimental results, which demonstrates the desirable efficiency of the proposed model.
