Development of AI Matrix Composite using Shape Memory Alloy

A simple analytical and finite element(FE) models are used to study the tensile properties of Al matrix composite with continuous TiNi fibers. The effects of residual stresses caused by the shape momory effects have been compared for various mechanical behaviors as a function of fiber volume fraction and degree of pre-strain and fiber configurations. It is found that both the back stress in the Al matrix induced by stiffness of TiNi fibers and the compressive stress in the matrix are caused of the strengthening mechanisms. Both theoretical and analytical results show quite good agreement and are closed to the experimental data except in high volume content.
