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...

description | 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 loss of superelasticity in the small pillars. The shape memory alloy at the center of the pillar is described using a nonlocal superelastic model, whereas the Ti oxide layer is modeled as elastoplastic. Voigt average analysis and finite element calculations are compared to experiments for the available range of pillar sizes. The simulation results also suggest a size-dependent strain hardening due to the constraint on the phase transformation effected by the confining Ti oxide layer. |
