TL;DR: Otsuka et al. as mentioned in this paper showed a one-to-one correspondence between shape memory effect and the thermoelastic martensitic transformation in a Cu-AI-Ni alloy.
Abstract: In some alloys, a given plastic strain recovers completely when the con­ cerned alloy is heated above a certain temperature. This phenomenon, shape memory effect (SME), was observed in Au-Cd (1) and In-Tl (2) alloys in the first half of 1950s. However, SME was not a focus of research until it was found in a Ti-Ni alloy (3) in 1963, when the phenomenon was first termed the shape memory effect. A similar phenomenon was found in a Cu-AI-Ni alloy as well (3a). At that time, however, SME was considered to be a peculiar phenomenon limited to the specific Ti-Ni alloy. In 1970, Otsuka & Shimizu (4, 4a) unambiguously demonstrated a one­ to-one correspondence between SME and the thermoelastic martensitic transformation in a Cu-AI-Ni alloy. Thus, they concluded that SME is characteristic of alloys exhibiting thermoelastic martensitic trans­ formations. They ascribed the origin to the crystallographic reversibility of the thermoelastic transformation and the presence of a recoverable deformation mode, i.e. twinning, in thermoelastic alloys. Since then, there

TL;DR: In this article, the thermodynamics of thermoelastic martensitic transformations are reformulated from the point of view of calorimetric experiments, and it is shown that the heat released or absorbed by the specimen is due to a triple contribution: the latent heat of transformation, the reversibly stored elastic enthalpy and the irreversible work mainly spent in moving the interfaces.

TL;DR: In this article, the residual stresses in APC-2 cross-ply laminates have been investigated and predictions based on classical laminate theory are compared to measured levels of residual stress obtained from a number of experimen tal techniques.
Abstract: Residual stresses in composite laminates depend on thermoelastic properties of the material and processing temperatures. Their distribution in the various laminae is a func tion of stacking sequence and ply orientation. In this work residual stresses in APC-2 cross-ply laminates have been investigated. Predictions based on classical laminate theory are compared to measured levels of residual stress obtained from a number of experimen tal techniques. The analysis of the results shows that accurate predictions can be made pro vided that the changes in thermoelastic properties of the materials with temperature are taken into account.

TL;DR: In this article, a model is developed to approximate the elastic response of a composite body reinforced by coated, fibers oriented in various directions, and a parametric study has been conducted to illustrate how a coating applied to the fiber influences the effective thermoelastic properties and can alter the state of stress at the fiber-matrix interface and thereby modify or control an observed mode of failure.

TL;DR: In this paper, a system known as SPATE (stress pattern analysis by measurement of thermal emission) has been developed which can detect changes in infrared emission due to minute changes in the temperature of a dynamically stressed material.
Abstract: The term thermoelastic effect refers to the coupling between mechanical deformation and the change in thermal energy of an elastic material. The first theoretical treatment of this phenomenon is attributed to Lord Kelvin1, and the resulting law states that the rate of change in temperature of a dynamically loaded body is directly related to the rate of change of the principal stress sum under adiabatic conditions. Although Kelvin's law has been well known for over a century, it is only in the past ten years that the thermoelastic effect has been exploited as a means for dynamic stress analysis. A system known as SPATE (stress pattern analysis by measurement of thermal emission) has been developed which can detect changes in infrared emission due to minute changes in the temperature of a dynamically stressed material. Recently it was discovered that the SPATE response or, more generally, the thermal response of a cyclically loaded body is not only a function of the dynamic part of the stress, but also of the static component2. This finding has led to the suggestion that residual stresses within a material might be detected using this phenomenon, and here we present the first demonstration of such a means of residual stress measurement.

TL;DR: In this article, a general finite element model is proposed to deal with dynamic theromelastic problems especially with longer transient period, which consists of formulating and solving the problem in the Laplace transform domain by the Finite Element Method (FEM) and then numerically inverting the transformed solution to obtain the time-domain response.
Abstract: A general finite-element model is proposed to deal with dynamic theromelastic problems especially with longer transient period. The method consists of formulating and solving the problem in the Laplace transform domain by the Finite Element Method (FEM) and then numerically inverting the transformed solution to obtain the time-domain response. Therefore, the transient solutions at any time could be evaluated directly. A number of examples are presented which demonstrate the accuracy, efficiency, and versatility of the proposed method, and show the effects of relaxation times, inertia, and thermoelastic coupling terms.

TL;DR: In this article, a solution for the thermoelastic stress field due to obstruction of a uniform heat flux by a plane crack in a generally anisotropic body is given.
Abstract: A solution is given for the thermoelastic stress field due to the obstruction of a uniform heat flux by a plane crack in a generally anisotropic body. A Green's func­ tion formulation is used to reduce the problem to a set of singular integral equations which are solved in closed form. When the crack is assumed to be traction free, the crack opening displacement is found to be negative over one half of the crack unless a sufficiently large far field tensile stress is superposed. The problem is, therefore, reformulated assuming a contact zone at one crack tip. The extent of this zone and the stress intensity factors in all three modes at each crack tip are obtained as func­ tions of the applied stress and heat flux.

TL;DR: In this paper, single integral expressions are derived for stresses and strains, which are analytically evaluated on axis at the surface and far from the laser-heated region (for a laser spot size≫absorption depth), and numerically evaluated for the example of laser heating of a silicon substrate.
Abstract: The thermoelastic equations are solved for laser heating of a semi‐infinite elastic medium by a focused TEM00 Gaussian beam. Single integral expressions are derived for stresses and strains, which are analytically evaluated on axis at the surface and far from the laser‐heated region (for a laser spot size≫absorption depth), and numerically evaluated for the example of laser heating of a silicon substrate. This analysis is extended to the case of laser heating of thin films on substrates. Use of these stress and strain profiles suggests that dislocations may form at the surface during high‐temperature laser processing of silicon at scan speeds typically used in direct laser writing. Also the elastic strains induced during laser heating shift phonon frequencies from their thermal equilibrium values, thereby complicating the use of Raman scattering as an optical probe of temperature. This is shown to be particularly significant for laser heating of silicon thin films on fused silica substrates and not very i...

TL;DR: In this article, the thermodynamic properties of the martensitic transformation in shape-memory alloys were investigated and the usual hysteretic subloop behavior during partial cycling was obtained for the first time by calorimetry.
Abstract: The thermoelastic martensitic transformation in shape-memory alloys is studied thermodynamically. Calorimetric experiments on the Cu─Zn─A1 alloy system reveal that the transformation takes place with a practically negligible entropy production. The usual hysteretic subloop behaviour during partial cycling is obtained for the first time by calorimetry. An analysis of the measurements gives the quantitative behaviour of elastic and dissipative energies with the volume fraction of martensite.

TL;DR: A photothermal probing technique for a clamped thin plate sample that uses thermoelastic bending, where the irregularity of the plate is detectable nondestructively as changes in amplitude and phase of the flexural vibration.
Abstract: In this paper we report a photothermal probing technique for a clamped thin plate sample that uses thermoelastic bending. Irradiation of the modulated laser light focused on the clamped plate sample generates the flexural vibration caused by thermoelastic bending. By scaning with the focused beam and optically sensing the bending, the irregularity of the plate is detectable nondestructively as changes in amplitude and phase of the flexural vibration. Characteristics of thermoelastic bending are also examined from the viewpoint of bending hot spot theory.

TL;DR: In this paper, a prototype microwave-induced thermoelastic tissue imaging system was designed to acquire and process two-dimensional projections of various sizes test tubes filled with tissue equivalent materials.
Abstract: A prototype microwave-induced thermoelastic tissue imaging system was designed to acquire and process two-dimensional projections of various sizes test tubes filled with tissue equivalent materials. A test object is immersed in a tank of water at whose surface single microwave pulses of 2 mu s at a carrier frequency of 2450 MHz are launched. Thermoelastic waves induced at the water surface are detected, on propagating through the object material, by a 20*20 piezoelectric transducer array at the bottom of the water tank. A computer-controlled data acquisition system samples and converts the amplified and bandlimited signals into digital form. The system produces images interactively through the use of image processing techniques. Results are presented to demonstrate the potential use of microwave-induced thermoelastic waves as a possible medical imaging modality. >

Abstract: In this paper the theory of generalized thermoelasticity is used to solve a boundary-value problem of an isotropic elastic half-space with its plane boundary held rigidly fixed and subjected to a sudden temperature increase. Approximate small time solution is obtained by using the Laplace transform method. Numerical values of stress and temperature have been obtained. It has been noticed that the displacement is continuous and that there are two discontinuities in both the stress and temperature functions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the dynamics of a long tether connecting two spacecraft in earth orbit, one of the spacecraft having dominant mass, and they considered the material damping of the tether.
Abstract: This paper analyzes the dynamics of a long tether connecting two spacecraft in earth orbit, one of the spacecraft having dominant mass. In particular, it considers the material damping of the tether. The nominal position of the tether is stabilized by the gravity gradient such that it is aligned with the local vertical. The tether is modeled as a viscoelastic flexible continuum. Modal frequencies are derived in an analytical approximation form. Damping ratios are estimated according to the linear model calibrated by ground measurements. The results show that, with properly chosen tether material and braiding structure, longitudinal vibrations of the tethered system are well damped.

TL;DR: In this article, normalized spherical scattering amplitudes are introduced for the displacement as well as the temperature field, via asymptotic analysis of appropriate integral representations, with the exception of the scattering amplitude corresponding to the transverse elastic wave.
Abstract: A plane thermoelastic wave, propagating in an isotropic and homogeneous, medium in the absence of body forces and heat sources, is scattered by a smooth, convex and bounded three-dimensional body. The body could be a rigid scatterer at constant temperature, a rigid scatterer at thermal insulation, a cavity at constant temperature, or a cavity at thermal insulation, while in all cases the Kupradze’s radiation conditions are assumed to hold at infinity. The second law of thermodynamics imposes an attenuation of the elastothermal and the thermoelastic waves, which is reflected upon the lack of symmetry of the unified differential operator governing the Biot theory of dynamic thermoelasticity. Normalized spherical scattering amplitudes are introduced for the displacement as well as the temperature field, via asymptotic analysis of appropriate integral representations. With the exception of the scattering amplitudes corresponding to the transverse elastic waves, all the other scattering amplitudes involve atte...

TL;DR: In this article, the singular characteristics of heat flux in the vicinity of the crack-tip for two dimensional transient thermoelastic fracture problems subjected to general heat transfer conditions at crack surfaces were investigated.
Abstract: This paper presents the singular characteristics of heat flux in the vicinity of the crack-tip for two dimensional transient thermoelastic fracture problems subjected to general heat transfer conditions at crack surfaces. Based on a restricted variational principle, a rigorous hybrid finite element procedure is then developed to perfectly describe the singularities of heat flux and thermal stress induced at the crack-tip. For verification purposes, the examples of transient thermoelastic problems with insulated crack surfaces are first analyzed. Excellent agreements between the computed results and referenced solutions can be drawn. To evaluate the influence of heat convection and radiation on the computation of temperature distributions and thermal stress intensity factors, several numerical examples are also presented.
