Shape memory alloys (SMA) are metals which can restore their initial shape after having been subjected to a deformation. They exhibit in general both nonlinear shape memory and pseudoelastic effects. In this paper, shape memory alloy (SMA) and its constitutive model with an empirical kinetics equation are investigated. A new formulation to the martensite fraction-dependent Young modulus has been adopted and the plastic deformation was taken into account. To simulate the variations, a one-dimensional constitutive model was constructed based on the uniaxial tension features.

Characteristics of NiTi shape memory alloy (SMA) and its constitutive model with an empirical kinetics equation were investigated in this paper. Firstly, the transformation characters of the NiTi SMA were obtained through a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis technology, and the properties during incomplete and discontinuous transformation process and the effects of plastic deformation on the transformation were studied. The uniaxial tension, SME, and constrained recovery process of NiTi SMA were examined through an improved 10KN universal material testing machine. Experimental results indicated that the phase transformation characters and the mechanical properties could be affected by the loading process considerably, and the plastic deformation should be taken into account. To simulate the characteristics of NiTi SMA more effectively, a one-dimensional constitutive model derived from the internal variable approach with the consideration of the plastic deformation was constructed based on the DSC and the uniaxial tension experimental results, and a new simple empirical kinetics equation was presented, with the transformation temperature parameters redefined according to the DSC experiment evidence. Comparison between the numerical and experimental results indicated that this constitutive model could simulate the phase transformation characters, the uniaxial tension, SME, and the constrained recovery behavior of NiTi SMA well.

A theoretical model for the crack monitoring of the shape memory alloy intelligent concrete is presented in this work. The mechanical properties of shape memory alloy materials are first given by the experimental test. The one-dimensional constitutive model of the shape memory alloys is reviewed by degenerating from a three-dimensional model, and the behaviors of the shape memory alloys under different working conditions are then discussed. By combining the electrical resistivity model and the one-dimensional shape memory alloy constitutive model, the crack monitoring model of the shape memory alloy intelligent concrete is given, and the relationships between the crack width of the concrete and the electrical resistance variation of the shape memory alloy materials for different crack monitoring processes of shape memory alloy intelligent concrete are finally presented. The numerical results of the present model are compared with the published experimental data to verify the correctness of the model.

A constitutive model is developed for shape memory alloys (SMAs) based on the concept that an SMA is a mixture composed of austenite and martensite. The deformation of the martensite is separated into elastic, thermal, reorientation and plastic parts, and that of the austenite is separated into elastic, thermal and plastic parts. The volume fraction of each phase is determined with the modified Tanaka’s transformation rule. The typical constitutive behavior of some SMAs, including pseudoelasticity, shape memory effect, plastic deformation as well as its effects, is analyzed.

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.

Thermal- and stress-induced martensitic transformation was investigated on TiNi shape memory alloys subjected to severe plastic deformation (SPD) by cold rolling. TEM observation revelaed the sample is a mixture of nanocrystalline and amorphous after 40% cold rolling. DSC analysis suggested that the martensitic transformation was suppressed when the thickness reduction was over 25% reduction. Aging at lower temperatures (573 ~ 673 K, 3.6 ks) restores the phase transformations, but to a limited extent. The stress-strain curves of nanocrystalline/amorphous TiNi are characterized by absence of stress-plateau and small hysteresis.
