The results indicated that the training procedure is beneficial to get the better TWSME. The two-way shape memory strain increases with increasing the training strain. And it decreases with increasing the training temperature. The TWSME obtained in the present alloy shows poorer stability compared with that obtained in the TiNi alloys.展开更多

Pressure measurements of two typical sections, one train-head section and one train-body section, at the windward and leeward tracks were conducted under the smooth and turbulence flows with wind attack angles between-6° and 6°, and the corresponding aerodynamic force coefficients were also calculated using the integral method. The experimental results indicate that the track position affects the mean aerodynamic characteristics of the vehicle, especially for the train-body section. The fluctuating pressure coefficients at the leeward track are more significantly affected by the bridge interference compared to those at the windward track. The effect of turbulence on the train-head section is less than that on the train-body section. Additionally, the mean aerodynamic force coefficients are almost negatively correlated to wind attack angles, which is more prominent for vehicles at the leeward track. Moreover, the lateral force plays a critical role in determining the corresponding overturning moment, especially on the train-body section.展开更多

The TWSME spring can contract upon heating and extend uponcooling. The results show that there is an increase of the recovery ratio up to a maximum TWSME of45%. During the training procedure, transformation temperatures and hysteresis were measured bydifferent scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results show that A_s (reverse transformation starttemperature) and A_f (reverse transformation finish temperature) shift to lower temperature aftertraining. The intervals of A_fA_s and M_s-M_f (M_s and M_f are the martensite start and finishtemperatures, respectively) increase and the heat of transformation decreases after training. Theelectrothermal driving characteristics of the TWSME springs were also investigated with alternatingcurrent density of 3.2-14.7 A/mm^2. It is found that the time response and the maximum contractionratio greatly depend on the magnitude of the electrical current density.展开更多

The results show that an appropriate amount of ductile γ-phase significantly enhances the TWSME. The largest TWSME of 1.4% without training is observed in N（56Mn21Co4Ga18.9Gd0.1 alloy, and this value is increased to 2.0% after thermomechanical training. The as-trained TWSME decays over the first five thermal cycles and then reaches a stable value as the number of cycles further increasing. Only the degradation of 0.2% is observed after 100 thermal cycles. The better TWSME and thermal stability are ascribed to the stable extra stress field formed by the plastically deformed γ-phase.展开更多

In this paper, we propose a new 3D alignment method for organic training samples matching, whose modalities are orientable and surface figures could be recognized. It is a feature based alignment method which matches two models depending on the distribution of surface curvature. According to the affine transformation on 2D Gaussian map, the distances between the corresponding parts on surface could be minimized. We applied our proposed method on 5 cases left lung training samples alignment and 4 cases liver training samples alignment. The experiment results were performed on the left lung training samples and the liver training samples. The availability of proposed method was confirmed.展开更多

In the TiNiHf alloy, the martensite deformation is an effective method to get two-way shape memory effect even with a small deformation strain. The results indicate that the internal stress field formed by the bending deformation is in the direction of the preferentially oriented martensite variants formed during the bending deformation. Upon cooling the preferentially oriented martensite variants form under such an oriented stress field, which should be responsible for the generation of the two-way shape memory effect. Proper training process benefits the formation of the oriented stress field, resulting in the improvement of the two-way shape memory effect. A maximum TWSME of 0.88% is obtained in the present alloy.展开更多

The alloy appears little two-way shape memory effect. The former training and addition of compound RE are two effective ways to restrain martensitic stability. XRD analysis also indicates that ε→γ reversible transition ratio increases by training greatly help to improve SME of the alloy.展开更多
