Full-field measurement techniques are now mature. As such, they have profoundly impacted
the experimental mechanics community in recent years. The way that shape memory alloys …

A finite-strain, phase-field model for thermomechanically induced fracture in shape memory
alloys (SMAs), ie, fracture under loading paths that may take advantage of either the …

A phase-field model for thermomechanically-induced fracture in NiTi at the single crystal
level, ie, fracture under loading paths that may take advantage of either of the functional …

Crack growth in shape memory alloys under mode-I isothermal loading is simulated using
finite element analysis. The experimental data refers to a compact tension (CT) experiment …

A phenomenological constitutive model for the thermomechanical constitutive behavior of
shape memory alloys is implemented within finite element calculations to model the …

Abstract Although Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) belong to a relatively brittle class of
materials, that of intermetallics, their fracture surfaces are characterized by both cleavage …

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are able to recover large inelastic strains due to their thermal-
/stress-induced phase transformation between austenite and martensite. Stress raisers can …

A three‐dimensional non‐isothermal phase field model of polycrystalline NiTi shape
memory alloy (SMA) was established based on the Ginzburg–Landau's theory, which …

Theoretical and numerical analyses are performed to investigate the behavior of a crack
propagating perpendicularly to a perfectly bonded bi-material interface. The bi-material …

Superelastic NiTi shape memory alloy is characterized by phase transformation under
loading. In this work, the effect of loading rate on fracture mechanics of NiTi is investigated …
