Molecular-dynamics of a 2D Model of the Shape Memory Effect

This work investigates the thermodynamic properties of a qualitative atomistic model for austenite–martensite transitions. The model, still in 2D, employs Lennard-Jones potentials for the determination of the atomic interactions. By use of two atom species it is possible to identify three stable lattice structures in 2D, interpreted as austenite and two variants of martensite. The model is described in the first part of the work [6] in detail. The present work studies the thermodynamic properties of the model concerning a small, 2-dimensional test assembly consisting of 41 atoms. The phase stability is investigated by exploitation of the condition of minimal free energy. The free energy is calculated from the thermal equation of state, which is measured in numerical tensile tests. In the second part of this work a chain of eleven 41-atom assemblies is investigated. The chain is interpreted as an idealized larger body, where the individual crystallites represent crystallographic layers allowing for the creation of micro structure. By use of tensile tests at various temperature conditions we sketch how such chain may exhibit quasi-plasticity, pseudo-elasticity and the shape memory effect.

Crack growth resistance of shape memory alloys by means of a cohesive zone model

Crack growth resistance of shape memory alloys (SMAs) is dominated by the transformation zone in the vicinity of the crack tip. In this study, the transformation toughening behavior of a slowly propagating crack in an SMA under plane strain conditions and mode I deformation is numerically investigated. A small-scale transformation zone is assumed. A cohesive zone model is implemented to simulate crack growth within a finite element scheme. Resistance curves are obtained for a range of parameters that specify the cohesive traction-separation constitutive law. It is found that the choice of the cohesive strength t₀ has a great influence on the toughening behavior of the material. Moreover, the reversibility of the transformation can significantly reduce the toughening of the alloy. The shape of the initial transformation zone, as well as that of a growing crack is determined. The effect of the Young's moduli ratio of the martensite and austenite phases is examined.

The step-wise martensite to austenite reversible transformation

The step-wise martensite to austenite reversible transformation (SMART) in shape memory alloys (SMA) is a martensitic thermoelastic transformation where a step-wise kinetics is induced by a partial cycling procedure within the hysteresis cycle (incomplete cycle on heating (ICH) procedure). The ICH procedure has been proved effective in inducing a reversible microstructural modification of the martensitic phase. Results till now obtained both on the SMART behaviour and on the effects of the ICH procedure are reviewed here: the hypotheses advanced till now are discussed to explain experimental evidences.

Sommario Con l'acronimo di SMART (step-wise martensite to austenite reversible transformation) si indica una trasformazione martensitica termoelastica in cui la cinetica di trasformazione risulta modificata dall'esecuzione di un'appropriata procedura di ciclaggio termico parziale (procedura ICH — Incomplete Cycle on Heating) nell'intervallo di temperatura in cui ha luogo la trasformazione martensitica inversa. Vengono qui presentati i risultati sperimentali relativi sia alla SMART sia agli effetti indotti dalla procedure ICH e responsabili delle modifiche della cinetica di trasformazione. Vengono inoltre discusse le ipotesi sino ad ora avanzate per spiegare i risultati sperimentali.

     

Molecular-dynamics of a 2D model of the shape memory effect

A 2-dimensional molecular-dynamic model is presented for the investigation of crystalline phase transitions. The model is based on potential functions of the Lennard-Jones type. By use of two types of particles a stable square crystalline lattice may be created. It may transform into sheared variants, which represent martensitic phases. It turns out that the phase stability is dependent on the temperature of the body. In numerical experiments it is shown that the austenite appears to be stable at high temperature, while martensite is stable at lower temperature. The present article - being the first part of a work on the subject - explains the used model in detail. In several examples it is shown, how the model is capable to cover temperature-induced transitions between austenite and martensite. It turns out that the presented molecular dynamic experiments exhibit important characteristics as they are known from shape memory alloys.Received: 15 April 2002, Accepted: 18 March 2003, Published online: 27 June 2003 Dedicated to Professor Ingo Müller on the occasion of his 65th birthday     

Molecular dynamic study of temperature dependence of mechanical properties and plastic inception of CoCrCuFeNi high-entropy alloy

Molecular dynamics simulations are performed to study mechanical characteristics and homogeneous plastic inception of CoCrCuFeNi high-entropy alloy at various temperatures under uniaxial tension. It is found that the elastic modulus and ultimate tensile strength increase with temperature decreasing. A notable softening effect is observed at the elastic deformation stage caused by the decrease of the interatomic force gradient. Extrinsic stacking faults and deformation twins are extensively observed, which are formed via intrinsic stacking faults overlap.
