ABSTRACT A two-dimensional non-isothermal phase field model considering multiple
martensite variants which can describe the thermo-mechanical deformation of …

A non-deterministic phase field (PF) virtual modelling framework is proposed for three-
dimensional dynamic brittle fracture. The developed framework is based on experimental …

Engineering the martensitic transformation (MT) with exceptional and controllable properties
is essential for the innovative application of shape memory alloys (SMAs) in advanced …

This contribution investigates the modelling of failure in polycrystalline materials due to the
nucleation and propagation of cohesive cracks at the micro-scale. First, a two-scale …

The inelastic deformations of shape memory alloys (SMAs) always show poor controllability
due to the avalanche-like martensite transformation, and the effective control for the …

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are smart materials with self-centering characteristics that can
be used to reduce the earthquake damage to structures. In this paper, the optimal thermal …

Direct experimental characterization of indentation-induced martensitic microstructures in
pseudoelastic shape memory alloys (SMAs) is not possible, and thus there is a lack of …

Abstract Based on the Ginzburg-Landau's theory, a two-dimensional phase field model
coupling martensite transformation/reorientation (MT/MR) and crack behavior was …

Fracture mechanics models have well-known numerical challenges when implemented
within implicit quasi-static frameworks once the cumulative internal energy exceeds the …
