This paper explores the importance of nonlinear material properties in the design of
hierarchical honeycomb materials. The recent literature on the design and optimization of …

A nonlinear constitutive model invoking third-order anisotropic elasticity is developed for
boron carbide single crystals subjected to potentially large compressive stresses. The model …

Shape memory alloys (SMA) exhibit a number of features which are not easily explained by
equilibrium thermodynamics, including hysteresis in the phase transformation and “reverse” …

In this work, we study lattice structures that exhibit a bistable behavior, ie, they can snap from
one stable state to another, and are also completely reversible, capable of reverting back to …

In the context of architected materials, it has been observed that both long-wavelength
instabilities leading possibly to localization and short-wavelength instabilities leading to the …

This paper presents a “first principles” atomistic study of the dynamics of detwinning in a
shape-memory alloy. In order to describe the macroscopic motion of twin boundaries, the …

This paper applies the stability theory of crystalline solids presented in the companion paper
(Part I) to the study of martensitic transformations found in shape memory alloys (SMA's) …

We present molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of a martensitic phase transformation
studying post-transformation microstructure and moving austenite–martensite interfaces …

Molecular dynamics simulation (MDS), using the embedded atom method for interatomic
interactions, is performed to reveal the microscopic mechanism of stress-induced martensitic …

Shape-memory behaviour in multi-grain material is simulated using a molecular dynamics
method. An embedded-atom-method potential for NiAl alloy is applied, and a sequence of …
