Abstract

Effective use of Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) depends upon detailed knowledge of their thermiomechanical behavior. In this paper, thermomechanical behavior of SMAs is studied using a novel ACES methodology. More specifically, variation of modulus of elasticity of equiatomic NiTi is studied, as a function of temperature. The results show that the modulus of elasticity of the NiTi studied herein varies from 38 GPa to 72 GPa as the temperature changes from –15 °C to 190°C, corresponding to phase transition from martensite to austenite. Comparison of Analytical, Computational, and Experimental Solutions (ACES) results showed good correlation.
