Abstract
This paper presents a time-resolved investigation of tensile loading induced temperature profiles in pseudoelastic NiTi thin film specimens. A finite element model for coupled mechanical and time dependent thermal analysis is presented that accounts for the different effects of local generation of latent heat and heat transfer. For strain rates larger than 0.24/s, the maximum temperature increases from room temperature to above 50 °C. Subsequent stress relaxation after temperature compensation results in a temperature decrease from room temperature down to -20 °C. The observed evolution of temperature profiles is in qualitative agreement with infrared thermography experiments on NiTi films fabricated by magnetron sputtering.
