Investigation of the role of Ti oxide layer in the size-dependent superelasticity of NiTi pillars: Modeling and simulation

Recent compression tests of NiTi pillars of a wide range of diameters have shown significant size dependency in the strain recovered upon unloading. In this paper, we propose a numerical model supporting the previously proposed explanation that the external Ti oxide layer may be responsible for the...
