Q1. What have the authors contributed in "A study of deformation and phase transformation coupling for trip-assisted steels" ?
With this model, the authors found consistently with experiment that the TRIP effect enhances the effective work hardening rate and hence is benefi cial for improving strength and ductility of steels. Furthermore, the infl uence of alloy composition, martensite lamellar structure, transformation rate and active transformation systems on the strength and ductility of low alloyed TRIP-assisted steels has been investigated.
