superelastic behavior which makes them promising for biomedical applications. The present …

Based on the strain-controlled cyclic tension-unloading tests at various strain rates (3.3× 10−
4–3.3× 10− 2/s), the effect of strain rate on the uniaxial cyclic deformation of a super-elastic …

The transformation ratchetting of super-elastic NiTi shape memory alloy was observed by
the uniaxial stress-controlled cyclic tests [Kang, GZ, Kan, QH, Qian, LM, Liu, YJ, 2009a …

The ratchetting deformation of super-elastic NiTi alloy was first observed by uniaxial stress-
controlled cyclic tests, and the dependence of ratchetting upon the applied stress and …

Porous shape memory alloys (SMAs), including NiTi and Ni-free Ti-based alloys, are
unusual materials for hard-tissue replacements because of their unique superelasticity (SE) …

Based on crystal plasticity, a new micromechanical constitutive model is constructed to
describe the cyclic deformation of polycrystalline NiTi shape memory alloy presented under …
