Abstract
This study presents a theoretical work for a novel adaptive jet engine chevron concept based upon embedding the functionally graded shape memory alloy actuators in a composite laminate, termed a functionally graded shape memory alloy actuator composite. The constitutive models of the functionally graded shape memory alloy actuator composites including the monolayer shape memory alloy composites and multilayer shape memory alloy composites with different volume fractions of the shape memory alloy were first given. An example using such models was discussed on a published finite element work on a shape memory alloy hybrid composite jet engine chevron concept to prove the validity of the theoretical work. The thermomechanical behaviors of the functionally graded shape memory alloy actuator composite with different volume fractions of the shape memory alloy subjected to the thermal loading were then discussed using the obtained constitutive model. The tip deflections of the jet engine chevron with different embedding patterns of the shape memory alloy were finally obtained.
