Abstract: The Principle of Maximum Dissipation Rate (PMD) can be exploited to derive homogeneous kinetic rate laws for the internal variables. A “normality structure” expressing the rates of the internal ...

Abstract: In multi-axis CNC machining of sculptured surfaces, a linear interpolation technique has been used to generate the command signals for positions along the straight line segments that connect ...

Abstract: During continuous casting low alloy steels undergo a proeutectoid γ (austenite)/α (ferrite) transformation at temperatures of about 1000 K and above. The continuous rearrangement of the iron-lattice ...

Abstract: The goal of this paper is to derive a micromechanics framework to study the kinetics of transformation due to interface migration in elastic-plastic materials. Both coherent and incoherent ...
