Abstract
Solid-solid phase transitions often exhibit hystereses, and a hysteresis indicates energy dissipation. Pseudoelasticity refers to a hysteretic loadingunloading characteristic observed in the stress-induced martensitic transformation of shape memory alloys.
This paper describes the thermodynamic model ofideal pseudoelasticity, a largely schematized adaptation of the experimental observations, and it reviews the works of other authors on thermodynamics of pseudoelasticity. Different approaches vary widely and we have chosen to put them into perspective by contrasting their assumptions and predictions against those of ideal pseudoelasticity.
Ideal pseudoelasticity receives support from the experimental results of Fu [1] and its thermodynamic properties have been exploited by Huo [2]. The model makes use of an analytical ansatz proposed by Müller [3] in which the hysteresis is assumed to be due to the presence of a coherency energy in solid phase mixtures. This model permits the study of stability of the equilibrium states and the calculation of the energy dissipation or entropy production during the phase transition: The equilibrium states of a phase mixture are found to be unstable in load-controlled processes and the dissipated energy is related to the coherency coefficient.
We also discuss some open problems concerning the states inside the hysteresis loop and the formation of interfaces.
