Abstract

In this contribution, a thermodynamically consistent and mathematically canonical modelling framework for the investigation of the cyclic thermomechanical behaviour of Nickel-Titanium shape memory alloy wires is developed. Particular focus is placed on the self-heating of the material subjected to multiple load cycles. The relatively high load rates necessitates the consideration of inertia terms, the applied load amplitudes of six percent strain motivates the use of a non-linear, Hencky-type strain measure. Comparisons of the results with experimental data on the one hand reveal reasonable results and on the other hand underline the necessity of further model enhancements.

Notes

  1. A maximum of two simultaneously occurring interfaces is considered as this work proceeds.

  2. In fact, a Hencky-type strain measure is used in this contribution, see Sect. 3.1 for details.
