Abstract: TRansformation Induced Plasticity (TRIP) phenomenon results from the competition between two basic mechanisms, namely the orientation and accommodation. An accurate description of such a behavior ...

Abstract: The semiphysics constitutive model developed by (2006, “ From Micro to Macroscopic Description of Martensitic Transformation in Steels: A Viscoplastic Model,” Philos. Mag., in press;Philos. Mag. ...

Abstract: The papers collected in this special issue are the outcome of a workshop held on May 10–11, 2005, at Georgia Tech Lorraine in Metz, France. The workshop brought together 24 participants, 15 ...

Abstract: A micromechanical model using simultaneously Green’s function techniques and interfacial operators is proposed in order to solve the elastic inhomogeneous coated inclusion problem. For a composite ...

Abstract: A self-consistent scheme is used to describe the behavior of nanocrystalline F.C.C. materials. The material is approximated as a composite with two phases. The inclusion phase represents the ...

Abstract: We consider a linearly elastic composite medium, which consists of a homogeneous matrix containing coated spherical inclusions. The composite is modeled by a four phase pattern consisting of ...

Abstract: A numerical study on the role of microstructure in the thermomechanical behavior of shape memory alloy (SMA) composites under uniaxial tension is performed. The simulation is based on the ...

Abstract: During the martensitic transformation in elastic-plastic materials, the local transformation strain as well as the plastic flow inside austenite are strongly related with the crystallographic ...
