However, the effect of texture, and the joint effect of grain size (GS) and texture on the functional properties of NiTi SMAs and the corresponding microscopic mechanisms have not been clearly understood yet. In this work, based on the phase field method, the effect of texture on the GS-dependent functional properties of NiTi SMAs, including super-elasticity (SE), one-way shape memory effect (OWSME), and stress-assisted two-way shape memory effect (SATWSME), is investigated, and the corresponding microscopic mechanisms are revealed. Moreover, the samples with discrete geometrical gradients and/or texture gradients are designed to achieve graded functional properties. The simulation results indicate that the dependence of functional properties on texture is due to the effect of crystallographic orientation on martensite transformation and reorientation, which can lead to different inelastic strains. In the designed samples with texture gradients, the stress–strain responses of sheets with various textures are different, allowing for the coordination of overall deformation of the sample by combining such sheets, with varying inelastic deformation degrees. Thus, the overall response of the sample differs from that without texture gradient, leading to the achievement of graded functional properties. The simulation results and new findings in this work contribute to a deeper understanding of the effects of texture, GS, and their interaction on the functional properties of SMAs, and provide valuable reference for the design and development of SMA-based devices with desired functional properties.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50892,"journal":{"name":"Acta Mechanica Solida Sinica","volume":"37 1","pages":"10 - 32"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138520034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to investigate the instability characteristics of hard films on flexible substrate surfaces from theoretical analysis and numerical simulation perspectives. Considering finite-thickness substrates, this paper establishes theoretical models for pure bending, bent wrinkle, partial delamination, and total delamination buckling of film/substrate structures based on the nonlinear Euler–Bernoulli beam theory and the principle of minimum energy; then the effects of material and geometric parameters of the structure, interfacial adhesion strength, and pre-strain on the evolutionary path of the four patterns are discussed. The study results show that: the greater Young’s modulus of the substrate is, the larger the parameter region where partial delamination of the film/substrate structure occurs, and the smaller the parameter region where bent wrinkle occurs. By varying Young’s modulus, thickness of the film and substrate, interfacial adhesion coefficient, and pre-strain, the buckling pattern of the structure can be predicted and regulated. The parametric design intervals for each pattern are summarized in the phase diagram.

Therefore, it is necessary to consider the size effect in topology optimization. In this paper, we establish a novel topology optimization model utilizing the integral nonlocal theory to account for the size effect. The approach consists of an integral constitutive model that incorporates a kernel function, enabling the description of stress at a specific point in relation to strain in a distant field. Topology optimization structures based on nonlocal theory are presented for some benchmark examples, and the results are compared with those based on classical medium theory.

To this end, tri-lateral elements are emanated from a scaling center, followed by the development of a semi-analytical solution along the radial direction and a finite element solution along the circumferential/boundary direction. The discretization is thus limited to the boundaries of the model, and the semi-analytical radial solution is found through the solution of an eigenvalue problem, which restricts the methods’ applicability to heterogeneous media. In this research, we first extracted the SBFEM formulation considering the heterogeneity of the media. Then, we replaced the semi-analytical radial solution with the EqBFs and removed the eigenvalue solution step from the SBFEM. The varying coefficients of the partial differential equation (PDE) resulting from the heterogeneity of the media are replaced by a finite series in the radial and circumferential directions of the element.
