Constitutive modelling and numerical simulation of multivariant phase transformation in superelastic shape-memory alloys
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work concerns the micromechanical constitutive modelling, algorithmic implementation and numerical simulation of polycrystalline superelastic alloys under multiaxial loading. The model is formulated in finite deformations and incorporates the effect of texture. The numerical implementation is based on the constrained minimization of the Helmholtz free energy with dissipation. Simulations are conducted for thin tubes of Nitinol under tension–torsion, as well as for a simplified model of a biomedical stent. Copyright 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Theoretical modelling of the effect of plasticity on reverse transformation in superelastic shape memory alloys
Stimulated by recent experimental results on superelastic NiTi shape memory alloy, a theoretical study is carried out to quantify the effect of plasticity on stress-induced martensite transformation, using a constitutive model that combines phase transformation and plasticity. A constraint equation is introduced to quantify the phenomenon of the stabilisation of plasticity on stress-induced mar...
متن کاملModeling and Simulation of Shape Memory Alloys using Microplane Model
In this chapter, a three-dimensional phenomenological constitutive model for the simulation of shape memory alloys is introduced. The proposed macromechanical model is based on microplane theory. Microplane approach is chosen to have limited material parameters in that all of those are measurable by simple tests. User material subroutine is developed to implement the proposed model in a commerc...

The phase transformation phenomenon due to the crystallographic change of shape memory alloys subjected to mechanical or thermal loading is very complicated. Regarding the thermo-mechanical coupling effects in shape memory alloys, in case of high loading rates, heat generation/absorption during the forward/reverse transformation, will lead in temperature-dependent variation and consequent...
متن کاملAdaptive Tunable Vibration Absorber using Shape Memory Alloy
This study presents a new approach to control the nonlinear dynamics of an adaptive absorber using shape memory alloy (SMA) element. Shape memory alloys are classified as smart materials that can remember their original shape after deformation. Stress and temperature-induced phase transformations are two typical behaviors of shape memory alloys. Changing the stiffness associated with phase tran...
متن کاملRate-dependent Thermo-mechanical Modelling of Superelastic Shape-memory Alloys for Seismic Applications
Experimental tests performed on superelastic shape-memory alloys (SMAs) show a significant dependence of the stress–strain relationship on the loading–unloading rate, coupled with a not negligible oscillation of the material temperature. This feature is of particular importance in view of the use of such materials in earthquake engineering, where the loading rate affects the structural response...
