On Transformation Pathways of General Stress Controlled Thermoelastic Martensitic Transformation in Shape Memory Alloys

Isothermal martensitic transformation in metamagnetic shape memory alloys

We show that in metamagnetic shape memory alloys exhibiting a magnetostructural first order phase transition the direct transition from ferromagnetic austenite to nonmagnetic martensite is isothermal. In contrast to the direct transformation, the reverse one nonmagnetic martensite–ferromagnetic austenite is athermal, just as are athermal both direct and reverse martensitic transformations in co...

MICROMECHANICS OF STRESS-INDUCED MARTENSITIC TRANSFORMATION IN MONO- AND POLYCRYSTALLINE SHAPE MEMORY ALLOYS; Ni-Ti

Stress-induced martensitic transformation in single crystals and polycrystals are examined on the basis of micromechanics. A simple method to find a stressand elastic energy-free martensite plate (combined variant), which consists of two variants, is presented. External and internal stresses preferentially produce a combined variant, to which the stresses supply the largest work upon its format...

Transformation yield surface of shape memory alloys

Shape-memory alloys transform under stress, and this stress-induced transformation is useful for various practical applications. The stress at which the alloy transforms depends on the orientation of the stress relative to the specimen, and may be described using a transformation yield surface. This paper provides early results of a theoretical treatment of the transformation yield surface of s...

Reversible Martensitic Transformation under Low Magnetic Fields in Magnetic Shape Memory Alloys

Magnetic field-induced, reversible martensitic transformations in NiCoMnIn meta-magnetic shape memory alloys were studied under constant and varying mechanical loads to understand the role of coupled magneto-mechanical loading on the transformation characteristics and the magnetic field levels required for reversible phase transformations. The samples with two distinct microstructures were test...
