Abstract

In this chapter, the thermo-mechanically coupled cyclic deformation features of super-elastic and shape memory NiTi SMAs are experimentally investigated under the stress-controlled uniaxial and multiaxial cyclic loading conditions. The definitions and evolution features of the transformation ratchetting, reorientation ratchetting, and temperature-induced transformation ratchetting of NiTi SMAs are revealed experimentally. Moreover, the thermo-mechanically coupled fatigue failures of super-elastic and shape memory NiTi SMAs under uniaxial and multiaxial cyclic loadings are discussed in details.
