Finite-element-simulations of polycrystalline shape memory alloys
Shape memory alloys (SMA) are widely employed as sensors and actuators. The need for precise control requires reliable modeling techniques involving, e.g., prescribed stresses and temperatures. These parameters are always inherently coupled in SMA. Various models are in use to characterize the non-linear hysteretic behavior of SMA; among them some that do not provide a means to incorporate true...
متن کاملFinite Element Analysis of the Behavior of Shape Memory Alloys and Their Applications
-A nonlinear finite element procedure is developed which incorporates a thermodynami~ly derived cons~tutive law for shape. memory alloy material behavior. The constitutive equations include the necessary internal variables to account for the material transfo~ations and are utilized in a onedimensional finite element procedure that captures the unique shape memory alloy responses of pseudoelasti...
متن کاملEvaluation of Seismic Response of Concrete Structures Reinforced by Shape Memory Alloys (Technical Note)
Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are unique smart materials that have many advantages, such as ability to resist large strains without leaving residual strains and ability to recover original form. However, the high costs of SMAs have limited their usage. This paper evaluates the behavior of concrete structures equipped with SMAs in an optimal manner as they are being used along the plastic hinge of ...
متن کاملTime-Discontinuous Finite Element Analysis of Two-Dimensional Elastodynamic Problems using Complex Fourier Shape Functions
This paper reformulates a time-discontinuous finite element method (TD-FEM) based on a new class of shape functions, called complex Fourier hereafter, for solving two-dimensional elastodynamic problems. These shape functions, which are derived from their corresponding radial basis functions, have some advantages such as the satisfaction of exponential and trigonometric function fields in comple...
متن کاملfinite element analysis of the pseudo-elastic behavior of shape memory alloy truss and beam
the pseudo-elastic behavior of shape memory alloy (sma) truss and cantilever beam are investigated. brinson’s one-dimensional material model, which uses the twinned and detwinned martensite fractions separately as internal variables, is applied in the algorithm to establish the sma stress-strain characteristics. this material model also incorporates different young’s modulus for austenitic and ...
