Proposed Model

A phenomenological constitutive model is developed to describe the uniaxial transformation ratcheting behaviors of the superelastic shape memory alloy (SMA) by employing a cosine–type phase transformation equation with the initial martensite evolution coefficient that can capture the feature of the predictive residual martensite accumulation evolution and the nonlinear hysteresis loop on a finite element (FE) analysis framework. The effect of the applied loading level on transformation ratcheting is considered in the proposed model. The evolutions of transformation ratcheting and transformation stresses are constructed as the function of the accumulated residual martensite volume fraction. The FE implementation of the proposed model is carried out for the numerical analysis of transformation ratcheting of the SMA bar element. The integration algorithm and the expression of consistent tangent modulus are deduced in a new form for the forward and reverse transformation. The numerical results are compared with those of existing models; experimental results show the validity of the proposed model and its FE implementation in transformation ratcheting. Finally, a FE modeling is established for a repeated preload analysis of SMA bolted joint.

Free Energy Analysis

This paper presents a transformation kinetics model of NiTi shape memory alloy (SMA) wires based on electrical resistivity (ER) derivative study under the assumption that the derivative of electrical resistivity with respect to temperature is in linear relationship with the derivative of free energy change with respect to temperature. Free energy change and electrical resistivity properties of SMA are analyzed based on differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) experiments during phase transformation. The simulated evolution of electrical resistivity during thermomechanical transformation is presented using the proposed model.

Numerical Tool

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.

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.

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.

In this article, the vibration attenuation of a fixed-fixed beam with a piezo-shape memory alloy ferrule is theoretically investigated. First, a dynamic model of the beam with a piezo-shape memory alloy ferrule is established, and the nonlinear dynamic response of the model is numerically analysed. The results show that the stability of the beam structure can be improved adaptively through self-regulation of the stiffness of the piezo-shape memory alloy ferrule undergoing external excitations. The effects of some internal system characteristics, such as the ferrule dimensions as well as the initial ferrule temperatures and boundary conditions, on the vibration attenuation of the beam are discussed. The stability of the proposed model under different external factors, including damping and external excitations, is also investigated. Compared with an aluminium ferrule, the present ferrule is better at the suppressing vibrations of the beam, and its adaptive property avoids the structural resonances for bigger ferrule sizes, making it more intelligent, efficient and convenient.

Transformation Behavior

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.

The nonlinear free and forced vibration of the composite beams embedded with shape memory alloy (SMA) fibers are investigated based on first-order shear deformation beam theory and the von Kármán type nonlinear strain-displacement equation. A thermomechanical constitutive equation of SMA proposed by Brinson is used to calculate the recovery stress of the constrained SMA fibers. The equations of motion are derived by using Hamilton’s principle. The approximate solution is obtained for vibration analysis of the composite beams based on the Galerkin approach. The parametric study is carried out to display the effect of the actuation temperature, the volume fraction, the initial strain of SMA fibers, and the length-to-thickness ratio. The shear deformation is shown to have a significant contribution to nonlinear vibration behavior of the composite beams with SMA fibers.
