The key point is the introduction of a novel austenite-martensite interaction term responsible for strain-softening of the material. Mathematical properties of the model are analyzed and a suitable regularization and a time-discrete approximation for numerical implementation to the finite-element method are proposed. Model performance is illustrated on two numerical simulations: tension of a superelastic NiTi ribbon and bending of a superelastic NiTi tube. Keywords: NiTi shape memory alloys, constitutive modeling, localizaton, Mori-Tanaka method 1. Introduction Having found many applications in medicine, civil engineering or aerospace industry (Mohd Jani et al., 2014), NiTi-based alloys are a prominent class within shape memory alloys (SMAs) usually utilized in the form of thin structures, e.g.

    A three-dimensional constitutive model for the martensitic transformation in polycrystalline shape memory alloys under large deformation L. Xua, T. Baxevanisb, D. C. Lagoudasa,c aDepartment of Aerospace Engineering, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77843, USA bDepartment of Mechanical Engineering, University of Houston, Houston, TX 77204, USA cDepartment of Materials Science & Engineering, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77843, USA Abstract This work presents a three-dimensional constitutive model for the martensitic transformation in polycrystalline Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) under large deformation. By utilizing the logarithmic strain and rate, the model is able to account for large strains and rotations that SMA-based components may undertake, but also resolves the artificial stress errors caused by the non-integrable objective rates that are widely used in current commercial finite element software. The model is developed through classical thermodynamic laws combined with the standard Coleman-Noll procedure. The scalar martensitic volume fraction and the second-order transformation strain tensor are chosen as the internal state variables to capture the material response exhibited by polycrystalline SMAs. A detailed implementation procedure of the proposed model is described through a user-defined material subroutine. Numerical experiments considering SMA components including a bar, a beam, a torque tube and a solid flexible structure under stress/thermally-induced phase transformations are investigated via the proposed model, and the results under cyclic loading are compared against the predictions provided by the Abaqus nonlinear solver. The development framework of the proposed model and its implementation procedure can be extended to incorporate other nonlinear phenomena exhibited by SMAs, such as transformation-induced plasticity, viscoplasticity, and damage under large deformation.

  • Elastocaloric Effect and Superelastic Stability in Ni–Mn–In–Co
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Elastocaloric effect and superelastic stability in Ni–Mn–In–Co polycrystalline Heusler alloys: Received: 9 December 2016 Accepted: 10 April 2017 hysteresis and strain-rate effects Published: xx xx xxxx Binfeng Lu1,2,3 & Jian Liu2,3 Controlling material hysteresis and working frequency variability are fundamentally important for refrigeration cycle efficiency and power density in solid-state cooling systems. For elastocaloric cooling, understanding the relationship between the width of the stress hysteresis and elastocaloric behaviour during superelastic cycles under varied strain rates is important. In this work, we report the effects of strain rate effects on the superelastic and elastocaloric responses in Ni45Mn50−xInxCo5 (x = 13.6–14.0 in at%) polycrystalline alloys. We observed a strong correlation between stress hysteresis and superelastic stability during mechanical cycling under increasing strain rates. Excellent transformation reversibility and stable superelastic responses are observed for x = 13.6 with a narrow hysteresis (49 MPa), whereas transformation irreversibility and dramatically deteriorated superelastic stability occur for x = 13.8, with a wide hysteresis (138 MPa). Furthermore, isothermal loading–unloading cycles under increasing and constant maximum applied stress were performed for the x = 13.6 samples, with a combination of low transformation stress and small transformation hysteresis. We suggest that a balance between transformation strain and hysteresis energy loss is fundamental to achieving a high coefficient of performance for elastocaloric materials. Because of priorities in energy savings and eco-friendliness, novel solid-state refrigeration techniques based on the caloric effect from solid-state transformation driven by external stimuli have been proposed, as potential alternatives to conventional vapour compression cooling and are attracting significant attention1–5.
