Cfrp Confinement

The critical need to enhance existing strengthening methods with more efficient and effective ones has led to the evolvement of smarter and innovative class of materials termed Shape Memory Alloys (SMA). The SMA’s possess unique characteristic properties that lie in their ability to undergo large deformations and return to their undeformed shape through stress removal or heating process. Limited research studies conducted using SMA’s have shown high potential for their use in building industry. Results presented in this research study are from an experimental study that investigated the compressive behaviour of uniaxial concentrically loaded Nickel – Titanium (Ni-Ti) SMA-spirally confined RC columns and compared with RC columns confined with conventional CFRP sheets. The compression tests revealed that actively confining the concrete column with Ni-Ti SMA spiral wires increased the performance of the concrete dramatically. Additionally, the active Ni-Ti SMA-confinement system exhibited superior performance compared to the conventional passive CFRP-confinement system.

Niti Shape Memory Alloys

Nickel–titanium alloys are the most widely used shape memory alloys due to their outstanding shape memory effect and superelasticity. Additive manufacturing has recently emerged in the fabrication of shape memory alloy but despite substantial advances in powder-based techniques, less attention has been focused on wire-based additive manufacturing. This work reports on the preliminary results for the process-related microstructural and phase transformation changes of Ni-rich nickel–titanium alloy additively manufactured by wire-based electron beam freeform fabrication. To study the feasibility of the process, a simple 10-layer stack structure was successfully built and characterized, exhibiting columnar grains and achieving one-step reversible martensitic–austenitic transformation, thus showing the potential of this additive manufacturing technique for processing shape memory alloys.

Shape-memory Alloys are attractive for many potential applications. In an attempt to provide ideas and guidelines for the development of new shape-memory alloys, this paper reports on a series of investigations that examine the reasons in the crystallography that make (i) shape-memory alloys special amongst martensites and (ii) Nickel-Titanium special among shape-memory alloys.

Mechanical Components

This work aimed to produce mechanical components of nickel–titanium shape memory alloys using investment casting processes. Then, in order to validate processing, different designs of nickel–titanium shape memory alloy components as staple implants, Belleville springs, meshes, helical springs, screws and hexagonal honeycombs were produced and submitted to thermal and mechanical characterization. Thermoelastic martensitic transformation of the nickel–titanium shape memory alloy parts was determined by differential scanning calorimetry and electrical resistance with temperature, while the superelastic behaviour was verified by cyclic tensile and compression tests. It has been demonstrated that the employed investment casting processes are suitable to manufacture nickel–titanium shape memory alloy mechanical components with simple and complicated designs as well as functional properties related to phase transformation and superelasticity.

Shape Memory Fibers

Engineered self-healing materials seek to create an innate ability for materials to restore mechanical strength after incurring damage, much like biological organisms. This technology will enable the design of structures that can withstand their everyday use without damage but also recover from damage due to an overload incident. One of the primary mechanisms for self-healing is the incorporation of shape memory fibers in a composite type structure. Upon activation, these shape memory fibers can restore geometric changes caused by damage and close fractures. To date, shape memory–based self-healing, without bonding agents, has been limited to geometric restoration without creating a capability to withstand externally applied tensile loads due to the way the shape memory material has been integrated into the composite. Some form of bonding has been necessary for self-healing materials to resist an externally applied load after healing. This article presents results of new study into using a form of constrained recovery of nickel–titanium shape memory alloys in self-healing materials to create residual compressive loads across fractures in the low temperature martensitic state. Analysis is presented relating internal loads in self-healing materials, potentially generated by shape memory alloys, to the capability to resist externally applied loads. Supporting properties were experimentally characterized in nickel–titanium shape memory alloy wires. Finally, self-healing samples were synthesized and tested demonstrating the ability to resist externally applies loads without bonding. This study provides a new useful characterization of nickel–titanium applicable to self-healing structures and opens the door to new forms of healing like incorporation of pressure-based bonding.

Niti Shape Memory Alloys

The orientation distribution function (ODF) of the textured polycrystalline nickel titanium (NiTi) shape memory alloys (SMAs) was determined from the measured austenitic (B2)pole-figures by neutron diffraction. The texture results showed that neutron diffraction is an excellent tool to investigate the minor variation in the texture of NiTi alloys, which is very sensitive to the variation of the content of nickel in the materials. Moreover, the alloys crystallographic phase fraction and texture were calculated from Rietveld refinement with generalized spherical harmonic (GSH) description for the measured complete neutron powder diffraction (ND) spectrum, rather than a few isolated peaks, during in-situ temperature-induced martensitic transformation. The phase fraction results are consistent with the differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) curves.
