【 摘 要 】

In this paper, a crystal plasticity based constitutive model (Yu et al., 2013) is extended to describe the rate-dependent cyclic deformation of super-elastic NiTi shape memory alloy by considering the internal heat production. Two sources of internal heat productions are included in the proposed model, i.e., the mechanical dissipations of inelastic deformation and the transformation latent heat in the NiTi shape memory alloy. With an assumption of uniform temperature field in the alloy specimen, a simplified evolution law of temperature field is obtained by the first law of thermodynamics and the heat boundary conditions. An explicit scale-transition rule is adopted to extend the proposed single crystal model to the polycrystalline version. The capability of the extended polycrystalline model to describe the rate-dependent cyclic deformation of super-elastic NiTi shape memory alloy is verified by comparing the predictions with the corresponding experimental ones. The comparison demonstrates that the proposed constitutive model considering the internal heat production predicts the rate-dependent cyclic deformation of super-elastic NiTi shape memory alloy fairly well.
