Variation in kinetics of martensitic transformation, in an equiatomic TiNi shape memory alloy, during thermal cycles was investigated. Samples annealed at 500 °C for 1 hour were subjected to repeated thermal cycles, through the temperature range of martensitic transformation. Unusual 4-stage martensitic transformation during cooling after 30 thermal cycles was observed. Moreover, a new unusual phenomenon was found in the preliminary thermal cycled TiNi alloy. It was observed that variation in the highest temperature Th of thermal cycles temperature interval resulted in the redistribution of released heat among four calorimetric peaks, observed on cooling. It was found that if the Th temperature did not exceed 240 °C the variation in kinetics was repeatable, and determined only by the value of Th. It was assumed that the defect structure induced on preliminary thermal cycling changes reversibly on cooling and heating.

In this study, the simulation of the motion of an interface during the stress-induced martensitic transformation of a shape memory alloy is performed using the level-set method. The kinetics of the phase transformation is defined as an anisotropic kinetic relation between the rate at which the weak discontinuity moves, given by its normal velocity, and the thermodynamics driving force. The latter is derived from a dissipation function, which obeys the 1st and 2nd law of thermodynamics and accounts for large strains. Furthermore, a hyperelastic constitutive framework is used to describe the constitutive behavior of the material. The model is implemented into the finite element method and is then used to solve a 2D phase transformation problem in a shape memory alloy.

An experimental investigation of the micro and macromechanical stress-induced martensitic transformation in a Cu-Al-Be polycrystalline shape memory alloy is undertaken using a uniaxial tension test. Digital images are acquired at different stress states. The image sequences are analyzed to estimate the optical flow to get displacement vector fields. The experiments are carried out on a miniature hydraulic loading device mounted under an optical microscope. The stress-strain curves and associated images show stress-induced martensitic transformation in specific grains. Displacement vector fields for the polycrystalline shape memory alloy are obtained. They are inhomogeneous due to the martensitic transformation and inter-granular interactions.
