    ABSTRACT

    Comparison of constitutive models using different yield functions for porous shape memory alloy with experimental date

    Liu Bingfei, Dui Guansuo, Zhu Yuping

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.17, No.3, pp. 73-74, 2011, DOI:10.3970/icces.2011.017.073

    Abstract Several constitutive models with different yield functions for porous shape memory alloy (SMA) are compared with the experimental date. Different approaches such as upper bound theory and lower bound theory have been adopted and a new correction formula of the yield function is proposed in this work to study the behavior of porous SMAs. Numerical results are compared with the experimental date by Zhao et al (2005). It shows that the researches using upper bound and lower bound are nearly the same and the new correction formula is much closer to the experimental data than More >

    A Constitutive Model for Porous Shape Memory Alloys Considering the Effect of Hydrostatic Stress

    Bingfei Liu1, Guansuo Dui1,2, Yuping Zhu3

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.78, No.3&4, pp. 247-276, 2011, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2011.078.247

    Abstract A constitutive model considering the effect hydrostatic stresses induced by porosity on the macroscopic behavior of porous Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) is developed in this paper. First, a unit-cell model is adopted to establish the constitutive relations for the porous SMAs with SMA matrix and the porosity taken to be voids. Dilatational plasticity theory is then generalized for the SMA matrix. Based on an approximation of the velocity field and the upper bound theory, an explicit yield function for the porous SMA is derived from micromechanical considerations. Finally, an example for the uniaxial response under More >
