A constitutive theory, which consists of the constitutive equation and the transformation kinetics, is proposed to describe the thermomechanical behaviors of the shape memory alloys. Simulation in Ti-Ni alloy proves a good applicability of the theory when the overall characteristics of the stress-strain-temperature relation and the recovery stress induced in the heating process are studied in the uniaxial state.

A simple yet accurate macroscopic constitutive model of shape memory alloys has been developed. The features of this model are (1) energy-based phase transformation criterion, (2) one-dimensional phase transformation rule based on a micromechanical viewpoint, (3) dissipated energy with a form of a sum of two exponential functions, (4) duplication of the strain rate effect, and (5) adaptability to multi-phase transformation. This model is further improved to be able to express stress-strain relationships such that the reverse transformation starts at a higher stress than the martensitic transformation starts. Here, the ideal reversible transformation temperature is empirically described by a function of the martensite volume fraction. In this paper, an outline of our model is given, where the improvement is introduced. Then, it is shown that the model can quantitatively duplicate the major and minor hysteresis loops, strain rate effect, and asymmetry in tension and compression on the stress-strain relationship. And that it can also duplicate the stress-strain relationships having the reverse transformation start stress higher than the forward one.

This letter reports on stress–strain experiments on a Cu – Zn – Al single crystal performed using a purpose-built tensile device which enables the load applied to the specimen to be controlled while elongation is continuously monitored. From the measured isothermal tensile curves, the stress-induced entropy changes are obtained at different temperatures. These data quantify the elastocaloric effect associated with the martensitic transition in shape-memory alloys. The large temperature changes estimated for this effect, suggest the possibility of using shape-memory alloys as mechanical refrigerators.
