Isothermal Mechanical Cycling of Saponite–Titanium Composites in Conditions of Complex Stressed State

Abstract

Abstract It has been experimentally shown that in the isothermal mechanocycling of continuous cylindrical samples of saponite–titanium composites under conditions of a complex stress state, a reversible deformation of the properties of martensitic inelasticity is observed, which appears during thermal cycling at intervals of martensitic transformations. According to the results of the experiment, the influence of the ratio between the static and cyclic components of the stress on the change of shear deformation in a complex stress state during mechanical cycling with axial load is estimated.
