Modeling the transient behavior of the NiTi shape memory actuator using finite element analysis: Parametric study of the rate effects

Finite element simulation is presented to study the rate effects of the shape memory response of bent NiTi wire “C-shaped” exposure to load. A three-dimensional constitutive model for shape memory alloys proposed by Auricchio is implemented in the built-in library of Ansys Workbench 18.2 to capture...
