Abstract The cyclic deformation and fatigue of a TiNi shape-memory alloy wire was studied by carrying out rotating-bending fatigue tests at various strain amplitudes, temperatures and rotational speeds in air and in water. The results were summarized as follows: (1) for strain amplitudes in the rhombohedral-phase transformation region, the fatigue life was longer than 107 cycles and the deformation properties did not change under cyclic deformation; (2) for the strain amplitudes in the martensitic transformation region, the fatigue life was shorter than 105 cycles and the higher the temperature, the shorter was the fatigue life; (3) the rotational speed did not affect the fatigue life in water but a higher rotational speed led to a shorter fatigue life in air.

In this article, we propose a finite element numerical tool adapted to a Fe-based shape memory alloy structural analysis, based on a developed constitutive model that describes the effect of phase transformation, plastic sliding, and their interactions on the thermomechanical behavior. This model was derived from an assumed expression of the Gibbs free energy taking into account nonlinear interaction quantities related to inter- and intragranular incompatibilities as well as mechanical and chemical quantities. Two scalar internal variables were considered to describe the phase transformation and plastic sliding effects. The hysteretic and specific behavior patterns of Fe-based shape memory alloy during reverse transformation were studied by assuming a dissipation expression. The proposed model effectively describes the complex thermomechanical loading paths. The numerical tool derived from the implicit resolution of the nonlinear partial derivative constitutive equations was implemented into the Abaqus® finite element code via the User MATerial (UMAT) subroutine. After tests to verify the model for homogeneous and heterogeneous thermomechanical loadings, an example of Fe-based shape memory alloy application was studied, which corresponds to a tightening system made up of fishplates for crane rails. The results we obtained were compared to experimental ones.
