Application of the Beam Theory to Model the Pseudoelastic and Ferroelastic Bending of SMA Beams

چکیده
The study of simple beams made of shape memory alloys (SMA) is very interesting for industrial and experimental reasons. In this paper, it is realised using strength of materials' approach: different kinematical and behavioural assumptions are successively used to solve circular and three supports bendings' problems. The kinematical ones consist in taking into account small or large displacements, the friction being or not neglected, whereas the behavioural ones consider different constitutive equations ie. the elastic-perfectly plastic model and the asymmetric elastohysteretic model. The influences of all these hypothesis are finally illustrated in three supports bending simulations.

An Efficient Finite Element Formulation Based on Deformation Approach for Bending of Functionally Graded Beams
Finite element formulations based generally on classical beam theories such as Euler-Bernoulli or Timoshenko. Sometimes, these two formulations could be problematic expressed in terms of restrictions of Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, in case of thicker beams due to non-consideration of transverse shear; phenomenon that is known as shear locking characterized the Timoshenko beam theory, in case of...
متن کاملNonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Bending of Straight Beams Using hp-Spectral Approximations
Displacement finite element models of various beam theories have been developed using traditional finite element interpolations (i.e., Hermite cubic or equi-spaced Lagrange functions). Various finite element models of beams differ from each other in the choice of the interpolation functions used for the transverse deflection w, total rotation φ and/or shear strain γxz, or in the integral form u...
متن کاملRitz Method Application to Bending, Buckling and Vibration Analyses of Timoshenko Beams via Nonlocal Elasticity
Bending, buckling and vibration behaviors of nonlocal Timoshenko beams are investigated in this research using a variational approach. At first, the governing equations of the nonlocal Timoshenko beams are obtained, and then the weak form of these equations is outlined in this paper. The Ritz technique is selected to investigate the behavior of nonlocal beams with arbitrary boundary conditions ...
متن کاملSimple Two Variable Refined Theory for Shear Deformable Isotropic Rectangular Beams
In this paper, a displacement-based, variationally consistent, two variable refined theory for shear deformable beams is presented. The beam is assumed to be of linearly elastic, homogeneous, isotropic material and has a uniform rectangular cross-section. In this theory, the beam axial displacement and beam transverse displacement consist of bending components and shearing components. The assum...
متن کاملBending, buckling and free vibration responses of hyperbolic shear deformable FGM beams
This study investigated bending, buckling, and free vibration responses of hyperbolic shear deformable functionally graded (FG) higher order beams. The material properties of FG beams are varied through thickness according to power law distribution; here, the FG beam was made of aluminium/alumina, and the hyperbolic shear deformation theory was used to evaluate the effect of shear deformation i...
