A general constitutive framework is proposed to incorporate linear and nonlinear
mechanical behaviour laws into a standard phase field model. In the diffuse interface region …

Quenching is an important part of the production chain of steel components. The final
properties of the product are largely determined during this stage, and this renders …

A FE modelling of the elastoplastic interactions occurring within a 3D polycrystal subjected
to diffusive phase transformation is proposed. The parent polycrystal is represented by a …

During heat treatment processes of steel products, transformation plasticity is known to play
an important role as it affects the final product quality such as shape and residual stresses …

This article describes the fundamental concepts of heat treatment simulation, including the
physical events and their interactions, the heat treatment simulation software, and the …

There has recently been renewed interest in the theoretical modeling of Greenwood and
Johnson (1965)'s mechanism of transformation plasticity of metals and alloys. Neglecting the …

This paper proposes an innovative treatment of Greenwood and Johnson (1965)'s
mechanism of transformation plasticity of metals and alloys, based on the disregard of …

Recent advances in phase field modelling include the description of elastoviscoplastic
material behaviour of the phases combined with diffusion and phase transformation. The …

Solid-state phase transformations can drastically influence the evolution of stress in welds
due to the strains associated with the transformations and related changes in mechanical …

This work addresses the numerical simulation of transformation plasticity by using a
numerical scheme based on the fast Fourier transform (FFT). A two-phase material with …
