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.

Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) is widely used and plays an important role in various engineering fields due to its special characteristics of shape memory effect and super-elasticity. In this paper the phase transformation behavior and thermo-mechanics behavior of 50.0at%Ni-Ti SMA are investigated though differential scanning colorimeter (DSC) and tensional tests respectively. Optical micrographs show the transformation of austenite and twinned martensite. The comparing numerical calculation result with tensional test result shows the new macro-mechanical constitutive equation can express the thermo-mechanical behavior of SMA effectively.
