Shape memory alloy (SMA) wires were embedded within laminated composite plates to take advantage of the shape memory effect property of the SMA in improving post-buckling behavior of composite plates. A nonlinear finite element formulation was developed for this study. The plate-bending formulation used in this study was developed based on the first order shear deformation theory, where the von Karman's nonlinear moderate strain terms were added to the strain equations. The effect of the SMA was captured by adding recovery stress term in the constitutive equation of the SMA composite plates. Values of the recovery stress of the SMA were determined using Brinson's model. Using the principle of virtual work and the total Lagrangian approach, the final finite element nonlinear governing equation for the post-buckling of SMA composite plates was derived. Buckling and post-buckling analyses were then conducted on the symmetric angle-ply and cross-ply SMA composite plates. The effect of several parameters such as the activation temperature, volume fraction, and the initial strain of the SMA on the post-buckling behavior of the SMA composite plates were studied. It was found that significant improvements in the post-buckling behavior for composite plates can be attained.

Shape memory alloys are used in composite structures due to their shape memory effect and phase transformation. The recovery force of the shape memory alloy improves the post-buckling behavior of the structure. In this study, the thermal buckling and post-buckling of Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) hybrid composite laminated beam subjected to uniform temperature distribution is investigated. To this purpose, considering Von-Karman non-linear strain terms for large deformation, the non-linear equations of SMA reinforced beam based on Reddy Bickford theory have been derived. Besides, the recovery stress of the restrained SMA wires during martensitic transformation was calculated based on the one-dimensional constitutive law of the Brinson’s model. A numerical solution using Galerkin’s method has been presented for solving the nonlinear partial differential equations to obtain the critical buckling temperature and transverse deformation of the beam in the post-buckling region in both symmetric and anti-symmetric layups. The effect of SMA volume fraction, pre-strain, the boundary condition of the beam, stacking sequence, and its geometric properties have been studied. The results show that even by adding a small amount of SMA to the composite, the critical buckling temperature increases significantly, and the beam deflection decreases. Besides, using this theory has an evident effect on the anti-symmetric layup, especially for the thick beams.

In this article, the buckling and post-buckling behaviours of a laminated composite spherical shallow shell panel embedded with shape memory alloy (SMA) fibres are studied under a thermal environment. System equations for a laminated composite spherical shell panel embedded with SMA fibres are for the first time derived by modelling the geometric non-linearity in the Green—Lagrange sense and the material non-linearity in SMA fibres in the framework of the higher-order shear deformation theory. The shell panel model is discretized by using a non-linear finite-element approach. The governing algebraic equations are then derived by the variational approach and solved using a direct iterative technique. Influences of the thickness ratio, boundary condition, aspect ratio, curvature ratio, lamination scheme, SMA volume fraction, percentage of prestrain, and amplitude ratio on the buckling and post-buckling temperatures of a laminated composite shell panel with and without SMA have been examined in detail. The results are computed using the present model and compared with those available in the literature.

The effect of NiTi alloy long wires on the viscoelastic behavior of epoxy resin was investigated by utilizing the dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and a novel micromechanical model. The present model is capable of predicting the viscoelastic properties of the shape-memory-alloy (SMA) reinforced polymer as a function of the SMA volume fraction, initial martensite volume fraction, pre-strain level in wires, and the temperature variations. The model was verified by conducting experiments. Good agreement between the theoretical and experimental results was achieved. A parametric study was also performed to investigate the effect of SMA parameters. According to the results, by the addition of a small volume fraction of SMA, the storage modulus of the composite increases significantly, especially at higher temperatures. Moreover, applying a 4% pre-strain caused a 10% increase in the maximum value of the loss factor of the SMA reinforced epoxy in comparison with the 0% pre-strained SMA reinforced epoxy.
