We study the influence of elastic anisotropy on nanoscale precursor textures that exist in
some shape-memory alloys and show that tweed occurs in the limit of high elastic anisotropy …

An elastoplastic phase-field (PF) model of martensitic transformation is proposed to study
the effects of self-and plastic accommodations on the evolution of a stress-accommodating …

A finite element approach is suggested for the modeling of the dynamics of multivariant
martensitic phase transitions (PTs) in elastic materials at the nanoscale in the three …

In dislocation-free martensites the components of the elastic strain tensor are constrained by
the Saint-Venant compatibility condition which guarantees continuity of the body during …

We consider a spin-1 model of strain pseudospins S (r ⃗)= 0,±1 that arise from a triple-well
Landau free energy for a square/rectangle or “austenite-martensite” structural transformation …

Slow time-dependent fluctuations, or noise, in the electrical resistance of dc magnetron
sputtered thin films of nickel-titanium shape memory alloys have been measured. Even in …

We apply the Landau theory of phase transitions to describe the formation of stripes and
bubbles in a two dimensional charged system. We show that coupling of the order …

We use a strain description to couple long-range elastic fields adiabatically to electronic
density to describe the behavior of a quantum particle in an elastic medium. We show that in …

This study was developed on 52 soil profiles, 61 surface diagnostic horizons, and 26
subsurface diagnostic horizons classified according to the Soil Taxonomy and Brazilian Soil …

Dislocations in crystals induce incompatibility between elastic strains. We show how this can
be related to the densities of crystal dislocations in individual slip systems and how the …
