Abstract
In this project, we investigate dynamics and thermodynamics of the martensitic transformation shape memory alloy materials currently used in automotive, aerospace, and robotics applications.
This project is a collaboration between the Linkoping University and the Ruhr University in Bochum (Germany). Our studies will focus on TaTi and TaAlTi intermetallics in various different metal concentrations.
In the first part of the project, we employ ab initio molecular dynamics combined to the temperature-dependent effective potential (TDEP) method as well as electronic structure analyses to identify the mechanisms controlling the martensitic to austenite transition temperature. TDEP calculations will also allow understanding whether the phase transformation is of first or second order.
The second part of the project will focus on parameterizing empirical potentials for performing large scale simulations on shape memory alloy properties.
The third aim of the project is to investigate the diffusion (mass transport) properties in these materials. For the high-temperature austenite phase, we will use accelerated (nonequilibrium) AIMD simulations with a method implemented in VASP by our group.
Using SNIC and LiU(Gamma) resources, during last year we have published
9 papers in peer-reviewed journals, 2 of which related to shape memory alloys. SNIC and LiU resources have been acknowledged.
