Crack loading and crack extension in pseudoelastic binary NiTi shape memory alloy (SMA) miniature compact tension (CT) specimens with 50.7 at.% Ni (austenitic, pseudoelastic) was investigated using infrared (IR) thermography during in situ loading and unloading. IR thermographic measurements allow f

## Abstract This paper takes into account the localized deformation behaviour of a pseudoelastic NiTi shape memory alloy with finite element method. A threeβdimensional micromechanical model has been developed, in which the difference between the elastic properties of austenite and martensite is co
In the present work, a three-dimensional micromechanical model has been developed based on Gall and Lim's expression for Gibbs free energy, which can reproduce the pseudoelastic behavior of NiTi shape memory alloys. The emphasis was put on the difference of elastic properties between austenite and m
Two competing mechanisms that compensate the transformation strains of the martensite are observed by transmission electron microscopy studies of nanocrystalline NiTi alloys. A single variant of compound twinned martensite forms below a critical grain size of about 100 nm. In larger grains, a herrin
In the binary system Ni-Ir it is known that Ni and Ir form a complete solid solution over the entire composition range. Starting from this, Ni 48.5-x Ti 51.5 Ir x alloys with x = 0, 2.5, 5 and 10 at.% and a Ni 49.5 Ti 48 Ir 2.5 alloy have been prepared by arc melting in an argon atmosphere in order
