Micromechanical Modelling of the Thermomechanical Behavior of Shape Memory Alloys

  • Chapter

Part of the International Centre for Mechanical Sciences book series (CISM,volume 368)

Abstract

In this work we developed a model for the behavior of shape memory alloys based simultaneously on thermodynamical and micromechanical concepts. The basic field equations including moving boundary concepts are recalled and applied to the description of the transformation by discrete internal variables. To point out the different characteristic length scales appearing in shape memory alloys, two models are developed. The first one concerns the behavior of a grain in polycrystalline materials and the second one uses the self-consistent approximation for the intergranular interaction.

The results obtained from this model well agree with the experimental observations. In particular, the model is able to predict the dissymmetry observed during a tensile-compression test as well as the behavior during multiaxial loading. The parameters of the model are identified from experiments only.

For structure calculation applications, we develop also a simplified analytical model using only two internal variables for which some aspects may be identified from the crystallographic model.
