Due to latent heat release and the consequent thermomechanical coupling, NiTi SMAs are
highly rate sensitive. In this study, the effect of loading frequency on the functional …

In this work, cyclic tension-unloading tests with different peak strains (10%-18%) in the
temperature range from 313 K to 393 K are performed to investigate the effects of …

Nitinol (NiTi), a shape memory alloy (SMA) of nickel and titanium, exhibits two unique
properties: the shape memory effect and superelasticity. It is a material of choice for …

In this work, the evolutions of superelasticity (SE) and elastocaloric effect (eCE) for NiTi
shape memory alloy (SMA) helical springs under cyclic deformation are investigated …

A crystal plasticity-based constitutive model is developed to describe the thermomechanical
behavior of pseudoelastic NiTi single crystal. The model includes, for the first time in the …

Based on the cyclic tension-unloading tests with various peak strains (4%-12%), the effect of
loading level on the cyclic deformation and evolution of elastocaloric effect (eCE) for NiTi …

Variant reorientation is a ubiquitous phenomenon in shape memory alloys and has a great
influence on their texture and mechanical response. In the present study, a martensitic NiTi …

In this work, the rate-dependent and loading path-dependent cyclic deformation behaviors of
super-elastic NiTi shape memory alloy (SMA) are investigated under multiaxial cyclic …

Transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) in pseudoelastic polycrystalline NiTi shape memory
alloys (SMAs) is investigated through tensile tests combined with in-situ infrared and digital …

This study elucidates the mechanism of texture induced planar anisotropy in ambient
temperature (∼ 25° C) dwell fatigue response of an annealed sheet of commercially pure …
