This paper focuses on the size-dependent behaviors of functionally graded shape memory alloy (FG-SMA) microbeams based on the Bernoulli-Euler beam theory. It is taken into consideration that material properties, such as austenitic elastic modulus, martensitic elastic modulus and critical transformation stresses vary continuously along the longitudinal direction. According to the simplified linear shape memory alloy (SMA) constitutive equations and nonlocal strain gradient theory, the mechanical model was established via the principle of virtual work. Employing the Galerkin method, the governing differential equations were numerically solved. The functionally graded effect, nonlocal effect and size effect of the mechanical behaviors of the FG-SMA microbeam were numerically simulated and discussed. Results indicate that the mechanical behaviors of FG-SMA microbeams are distinctly size-dependent only when the ratio of material length scale parameter to the microbeam height is small enough. Both the increments of material nonlocal parameter and ratio of material length-scale parameter to the microbeam height all make the FG-SMA microbeam become softer. However, the stiffness increases with the increment of FG parameter. The FG parameter plays an important role in controlling the transverse deformation of the FG-SMA microbeam. This work can provide a theoretical basis for the design and application of FG-SMA microstructures.

Asymmetric Shape

A new model is proposed to describe the response of laminated composite beams consisting of one shape memory alloy layer and one functionally graded material layer. The model accounts for asymmetry in tension and compression of the shape memory alloy behavior and successfully describes the dependence of the position of the neutral surface on phase transformation within the shape memory alloy and on the load direction. Moreover, the model is capable of describing the response of the composite beam to both loading and unloading cases. In particular, the derivation of the equations governing the behavior of the beam during unloading is presented for the first time. The effect of the functionally graded material gradient index and of temperature on the neutral axis deviation and on the overall behavior of the beam is also discussed. The results obtained using the model are shown to fit three-dimensional finite element simulations of the same beam.

The Impact

Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) are one of the most hopeful smart materials, especially, Nickel–Titanium (NiTi or Nitinol). These alloys are great and desirable due to their excellent reliability and behavior among all the commercially available alloys. In addition, strain recovery, (Ni–Ti) is granulated for a wide variety of medical uses because of its favorite properties such as fatigue behavior, corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. This paper explores the creation and the characterization of functionally graded (NiTi) materials. This work demonstrations the impact of Nickel contains changes on the characteristics of NiTi shape memory alloy, in order to obtain the suitable addition of Nickel contain, which gives the optimal balance between hardness, start and finish martensitic point, shape recovery and shape effect of alloys properties. These materials are prepared to obtain suddenly or gradually microstructure or composition differences inside the structure of one piece of material, the specimens made by powder metallurgy process and the influence of every layer of composite by; micro-hardness, transformation temperature DSC and shape effect. The hardness value and shape recovery decrease with increase nickel content. superior shape memory effect (SME) and shape recovery (SR) properties (i.e., 8.747, 10.270 for SMA-FGM1 SMA-FGM2 respectively, and SR is 1.735, 2.977 for SMA-FGM1 SMA-FGM2) respectively.
