Mechanical behavior of NiTi shape memory alloy under cyclic loading: A state-of-the-art review

Abstract

In the past years, shape memory alloys (SMAs) have found applications in numerous fields. The unique energy dissipation capacity of SMAs under cyclic loading and their notable super elasticity, along with their high reliability, make them an ideal candidate for use as an energy dissipation material and a passive vibration control solution. In vibration control implementation, because of the cyclic essence of applied dynamic forces, it is crucial to examine the mechanical behavior of SMAs under cyclic loading. Numerous researchers have dedicated their efforts to studying the cyclic behavior of superelastic SMAs, delving into the effect of various loading characteristics such as frequency and strain amplitude as well as the effect of specimen size and ambient temperature. While the primary focus of this paper is to review existing research on the mechanical behavior of NiTi SMA under strain-controlled cyclic loading, it also includes an overview of the phase transformation mechanism, which manifests itself as shape memory effects and superelasticity. This additional information is provided to deepen the understanding of SMA material behavior. The perspective and data presented in this paper are tailored to appeal to civil engineers, with a specific emphasis on the information of interest in this field.
