STRESS-INDUCED PHASE TRANSFORMATIONS IN RATE-TYPE VISCOELASTICITY

Stress-Induced Phase Transformations in Shape-Memory Polycrystals

Shape-memory alloys undergo a solid-to-solid phase transformation involving a change of crystal structure. We examine model problems in the scalar setting motivated by the situation when this transformation is induced by the application of stress in a polycrystalline material made of numerous grains of the same crystalline solid with varying orientations. We show that the onset of transformatio...

Interface propagation and microstructure evolution in phase field models of stress-induced martensitic phase transformations

Analytical solutions for diffuse interface propagation are found for two recently developed Landau potentials that account for the phenomenology of stress-induced martensitic phase transformations. The solutions include the interface profile and velocity as a function of temperature and stress tensor. An instability in the interface propagation near lattice instability conditions is studied num...
