Summary: | The cyclic actuation behaviors of five high-temperature shape memory alloys are studied using a recently-developed multi-mechanism material model. An approach is taken to link few parameters in the mathematical model to specific SMA response characteristics, hence enabling us to account for the effects of material composition, heat treatments and the processing methods used in producing these alloys. The model results were found to be in good agreement with the experimental data obtained for the as-received/processed/aged forms of the Ti50.5Ni24.5Pd25, Ti50Ni24.5Pd25Sc0.5, and Ni50.3Ti29.7Hf20 materials.
•A multi-mechanism model is used to capture the actuation responses of HTSMAs.•Effects of composition, processing, and aging are investigated.•Ni50.3Ti29.7Hf20 alloys show a more dimensionally stable cyclic character.•Cyclic actuation responses of HTSMAs are linked to the model internal variables. |
