An in Situ Neutron Diffraction Mechanical Study of Superelastic Niti and Niti-tic Composites

Superelastic NiTi and NiTi-TiC composites were subjected to static uniaxial compressive loading while neutron diffraction spectra were simultaneously acquired. A methodology was established to obtain quantitative strain, texture and phase volume fraction information during the forward and reverse stress-induced martensitic transformation. Despite the presence of 10 vol. % of stiff TiC particles...

On the Damping Behaviour of Niti Shape Memory Alloy

Shape memory alloys exhibit a high damping capacity in the mktensite state. Results obtained from both DMA and cyclic tests under tension-compression load show that the martensite damping capacity in NiTi SMAs is a function of both strain amplitude and annealing temperature. Internal friction due to movements of martensite twin boundaries within both elastic (accommodation) and inelastic (reori...
