Simulations of Mechanical Response of Superelastic NiTi Helical Spring and its Relation to Fatigue Resistance
Source abstract
Abstract
Behavior of NiTi shape memory alloys under complex loading is still a subject of both experimental and theoretical investigations. One of the simplest geometries, in which the material is loaded in combined mode and which has also several practical applications, is a simple helical spring. In this contribution, mechanical response of NiTi superelastic spring is analyzed in detail by numerical simulation and the results are compared to experiments. The simulations show complex stress state, which develops during spring stretching. Analyzing fatigue tests with respect to simulated behavior allowed us to find relation between fatigue resistance and periodic changes in volume fraction of martensite induced by cyclic mechanical loading. The work also underlines an extension of the range of stroke amplitudes guaranteeing enhanced life performance of the spring when material transforms through the R-phase.
