This paper describes the transformation and deformation behavior and its constitutive equation for Ti-41.7Ni-8.5Cu (at%) shape memory alloy. Plastic deformation after pre-deformation is investigated using the volume fraction of slip-deformed martensite. New kinetics and constitutive equations are proposed for the reverse transformation process. The material constants in the proposed equationa are determined from the results of tensile and heating/cooling tests of Ti-41.7Ni-8.5Cu (at%) shape memory alloy. The calculated results describe well the deformation and transformation behavior affected by pre-strain.

Creep and relaxation phenomena are being observed in shape memory alloys, not only at high temperatures but also at room temperature, due to their martensitic transformation. Transformation-induced creep and stress relaxation in shape memory alloys occur due to temperature variations during loading and unloading cycles. In this work, a one-dimensional fully coupled thermomechanical model was employed to develop a continuum framework for studying these behaviors in shape memory alloy wires. A decrease or increase in stress was observed during forward or reverse transformation at a constant amount of strain, showing the stress relaxation and stress recovery, respectively. Similarly, the model predicts that strain increases or decreases when stress is held fixed in the course of forward or reverse transformation, meaning the phenomena of creep and creep recovery, respectively. This model provides the ability of investigating the effects of different ambient temperatures, strain rates, applied stresses and strains, and wire radii on the creep and relaxation responses of shape memory alloys. Relaxation and creep experiments at different ambient temperatures and loading or unloading rates were also done on NiTi wires, and the theoretical predictions were shown to be in a good agreement with the empirical observations.

In general, the development mechanisms of TWME have long been understood as the nucleation and growth of preferentially oriented martensite guided by the internal stress. This work extends the study by investigating the effects of martensite deformation, constrained stress and retained martensite via partial reverse transformation through thermal arrest during heating on the stress-assisted two-way memory effect (SATWME) and TWME. It was observed that the generation of maximum SATWME was caused by the development of optimum internal stress. The increase of internal stress was accompanied by the increase of martensitic strain resulting from constrained cooling. When the martensitic strain exceeded the initial pre-strain, it directly influenced on the magnitudes of SATWME and TWME. The accommodation process of stress-assisted and detwinned martensite variants as a result of partial reverse transformation caused the formation of internal forward and back stresses. TWME was promoted by the dominant internal forward stress formation, while the dominance of internal back stress decreased the TWME by decreasing the martensitic strain.

Shape memory alloys present a unique ability to undergo a solid-to-solid, diffusionless, reversible phase transformation. The forward phase transformation is commonly associated with transforming from the austenitic phase to the martensitic phase, while the reverse transformation is defined by going from the martensitic phase to the austenitic phase. In thermal actuation loading paths, forward transformation is generally associated with cooling, while reverse transformation is commonly associated with heating. In this article, however, it is shown that reverse transformation may occur during cooling of notched cylindrical shape memory alloy bars. The reversal in phase transformation is associated with the redistribution of stress in the shape memory alloy due to the phase transformation.
