Grain boundary and triple junction constraints during martensitic transformation in shape memory alloys

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of grain constraint on martensitic transformation was investigated through in situ scanning electron microscope tensile experiments on shape memory microwires with a small number of grains and grain junctions.

Grain size dependence of fracture toughness and crack-growth resistance of superelastic NiTi

TL;DR: The role of intrinsic and extrinsic toughening mechanisms in the GS dependence of the fracture process is discussed in this article, where it is shown that with GS reduction down to nanoscale, the fracture toughness and the size of crack-tip phase transformation zone monotonically decrease and the static crack growth resistance changes from a rising to a flat R-curve.

Application of an optimized digital correlation method to planar deformation analysis

TL;DR: The optimized digital correlation method has been developed to improve previously reported iterative DCMs and is shown to be much faster than previous methods while achieving accuracy equivalent to that obtained via simple coarse-fine iterative techniques.

Shape-memory alloys: macromodelling and numerical simulations of the superelastic behavior

TL;DR: In this paper, generalized plasticity is adopted as a framework for the development of one-and three-dimensional constitutive models for shape-memory alloys, such as superelasticity, different material behavior in tension and compression, and the single-variant-martensite reorientation process.

Shape-memory alloys: modelling and numerical simulations of the finite-strain superelastic behavior

TL;DR: In this article, a constitutive model was developed to reproduce the superelastic behavior of shape-memory alloys at finite strains, and the numerical implementation within a finite-element scheme was discussed in detail.
