摘要

The shape memory alloy (nitinol) was studied under low-cycle fatigue at a frequency of 0.5 Hz under varying maximum stress levels (σmax), and stress ratios R (0.1 and 0.5). The results demonstrated that, independent of σmax, the energy dissipated during deformation at R = 0.1 consistently exceeded that observed at R = 0.5 and exhibited a more pronounced decline with increasing fatigue cycles. This enhanced energy dissipation at the lower stress ratio was accompanied by more significant self-heating of the specimens, thereby promoting the stabilization of the alloy in the austenitic phase. Such stabilization is considered to impede the stress-induced austenite-to-martensite transformation under cyclic loading. Differences in the nitinol mechanism of fracture at different R were studied.
