The transformation ratchetting of super-elastic nanocrystalline (NC) NiTi shape memory
alloys (SMAs) under cyclic tension-unloading conditions and its deformation mechanism in …

Nanocrystalline NiTi shape memory alloys show fundamental changes in phase transition
behavior when the grain size is reduced down to nano-scale (grain size< 30 nm). However …

In this study, the tension-compression asymmetry of single-crystalline and nanocrystalline
NiTi shape memory alloys (SMAs) was investigated by molecular dynamics (MD) …

Micro-indentation has been widely used for testing the mechanical properties of NiTi SMAs.
In the present study, large-scale molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of nano-indentation …

By establishing some atomistic simulation cells with the same size but different numbers of
grains, molecular dynamics simulations are performed to investigate the super-elasticity of …

A crystal plasticity finite element (CPFE) model is developed for pseudoelastic NiTi shape
memory alloy (SMA). The model includes various inelastic mechanisms of deformation such …

In this work, a constitutive model considering grain size and model size is established to
