Study on Crack Tip Field of Shape Memory Alloy Board under Torsion Load
This paper focuses on the thermo-mechanical behaviors of the shape memory alloy board with a crack and under the torsion load. A stress field equation from mechanics of elasticity is used to describe the stress distribution around the crack tip in the shape memory alloy board. A martensitic phase transition equation is supposed to predict the martensitic phase transition behaviors of the field near the crack tip in the shape memory alloy board. The martensitic phase transition zones near the crack tip in the shape memory alloy board under the torsion load are numerically described based on the stress field equation and martensitic phase transition equation at various temperatures. Results show that the stress field equation and martensitic phase transition equation can predict the thermo-mechanical behaviors of the shape memory alloy board with a crack and under the torsion load effectively.
