We develop a new model for phase transformation kinetics in metals by generalizing the Levitas-Preston (LP) phase field model of martensite phase transformations (see Levitas and Preston (2002a,b); Levitas, Preston and Lee (2003)) to…
A continuum density-field formulation with particle-scale resolution is constructed to simultaneously incorporate the orientation dependence of interparticle interactions and the rotational invariance of the system, a fundamental but…
We explore the possibilities and limitations of using a coherent second phase to engineer the thermo-mechanical properties of a martensitic alloy by modifying the underlying free energy landscape that controls the transformation. We use…
A numerical model is constructed for modelling macroscale damping effects induced by the first order martensite phase transformations in a shape memory alloy rod. The model is constructed on the basis of the modified Landau-Ginzburg theory…
Polarization switching in ferroelectric BaTiO3 can proceed through fundamentally different mechanisms - yet the conditions that determine which pathway is realized remain poorly understood. Using machine-learning potential-based molecular…
The present work aims to describe, within a single phenomenological approach, the specific sequence of phase transitions observed in the rare-earth manganites RMnO3 at zero magnetic field. It is shown that a single integrated description of…
When subjected to electro-mechanical loading, ferroelectrics see their polarization evolve through the nucleation and evolution of domains. Existing mesoscale phase-field models for ferroelectrics are typically based on a gradient-descent…
Engineering alloys generally exhibit multi-phase microstructures. For simulating their microstructure evolution during solid-state phase transformation, CALPHAD-guided multi-phase-field models coupled with micro-mechanics have proven to be…
While most phase transformations, e.g. ferroelectric or ferromagnetic, can be first or second order depending on external applied fields, martensitic transformations in metallic alloys are nearly universally first order. We demonstrate that…
Needle-like twins are observed experimentally within the transition layer at the martensite-twinned martensite interface. We utilize a phase-field approach to investigate this microstructure. Our goal is to simulate the morphology of the…
We study existence of solutions in the variational sense for a class of stochastic phase-field models describing moving boundary problems. The models consist of stochastic reaction-diffusion equations with singular diffusion forced by a…
Shape memory alloys inherit their macroscopic properties from their mesoscale microstructure originated from the martensitic phase transformation. In a cubic to orthorhombic transition, a single variant of marten- site can have a compatible…
Directional solidification of water-based solutions has emerged as a versatile technique for templating hierarchical porous materials. However, the underlying mechanisms of pattern formation remain incompletely understood. In this work, we…
Phase-field methods offer a versatile computational framework for simulating large-scale morphological evolution. However, the applicability and predictability of phase-field models are inherently limited by their ad hoc nature, and there…
Nonequilibrium behavior and dynamic phase transition properties of a kinetic Ising model under the influence of periodically oscillating random-fields have been analyzed within the framework of effective field theory (EFT) based on a…
It has been a long challenge to analytically construct the quantitative temperature-dependent multi-well free-energy landscape over the space of order parameters describing phase transitions and associated critical phenomena. Here we…
We describe the microstructure, shape and dynamics of growth of a droplet of martensite nucleating in a parent austenite during a solid-solid transformation, using a Landau theory written in terms of conventional affine, elastic…
Materials which can undergo slow diffusive transformations as well as fast displacive transformations are studied using the phase-field method. The model captures the essential features of the time-temperature-transformation (TTT) diagrams,…
This work presents a three-dimensional constitutive model for the martensitic transformation in polycrystalline Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) under large deformation. By utilizing the logarithmic strain and rate, the model is able to account…
We study a system of classical particles in two dimensions interacting through an isotropic pair potential that displays a martensitic phase transition between a triangular and a rhomboidal structure upon the change of a single parameter.…
