Modeling the stress-induced transformation behavior of shape memory alloy single crystals
- Univ. of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA (United States). Dept. of Materials Science and Engineering
The phenomenological theory of martensite crystallography has been used to determine habit plane/shear direction combinations for stress-induced transformation of NiTi, Cu-Ni-Al and NiAl shape memory alloys (SMA) to twin-related martensite correspondence variant pairs. By considering the habit plane/shear direction combinations as unidirectional shear systems, generalized Schmid`s law is then used to predict the mechanical response of unconstrained single crystals of each SMA. Model results include axial transformation strain, and plane stress transformation surfaces as a function of crystal orientation. Comparison of the predicted mechanical response results with the habit plane/shear direction combinations reveals a link between the anisotropy and asymmetry of the mechanical response of SMA single crystals, and the crystallography of the martensitic transformation.
