Abstract
This paper reviews effect of the burst transformations in pseudoelasticity and shape memory effect in shape memory alloys (SMA). However, we will give some of our un-published results on tensile testing of Ti-49.83 at% Ni SMA wire sample which shows that burst transformations accompanying in-homogenous deformation of the stress-strain curve in pseudoelasticity region (above austenite finish temperature-Af) proceeds to the upper yielding followed load drop similar to the upper and lower yield observed in the mild steel specimens. Though our stress-strain curve look similar to the one reported by P.Feng and Q.P.Sun, the stress before getting yield was 720 MPa as compared to approx. 380 MPa reported by them. An attempt was made to explain upper and lower yield point phenomenon with help of micro-mechanical modeling. Further research has to be directed to identify the relationship between microstructural changes with respect to the burst transformations and test temperature of the sample.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
