Abstract

From kinetic points of view, the relationship between the relaxation of elastic energy and hysteresis expansion in thermoelastic martensitic transformation were concerned. The relaxation of elastic energy is responsible for the hysteresis expansion by predeformation of martensites. Comparisons of the predication and experimental data revealed that this onclusion is in agreement with the experimental reports associated with the hysteresis expansion of NiTi based shape memory alloys.
