Twinning Modes in Lattices
M. Bevis,A. G. Crocker +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the generalized theory of deformation twinning was applied to specific lattices and the resulting twinning modes described, and relations between modes in the seven crystal systems which arise from variants of the unit correspondence matrix were investigated.

Kinetics of transformation for anisotropic particles including shielding effects
TL;DR: In this paper, a derivation for X(t), the transformed fraction as a function of time, in a phase transformation process which produces randomly oriented anisotropic particles is presented.

A front-tracking model to predict solidification macrostructures and columnar to equiaxed transitions in alloy castings
Shaun McFadden,David J. Browne +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a front-tracking method is proposed for modeling alloy castings that solidify with a dendritic structure, either columnar, equiaxed, or both.

The kinetics of σ-phase precipitation in AISI310 and AISI316 steels
TL;DR: In this article, the rate of precipitation of σ-phase is shown to be a function of temperature mat, which is consistent with the Johnson-Mehl equation, and it is shown that σ phase precipitation is not a product of the temperature mat and temperature mat.

On some limitations of the Johnson–Mehl–Avrami–Kolmogorov equation
TL;DR: In this article, the limitations of the Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov (JMAK) equation for describing kinetics of phase transformation are demonstrated using probabilistic analysis and Monte Carlo simulations.
