A model for the development of microstructure in low-alloy steel (Fe-Mn-Si-C) weld deposits
TL;DR: In this paper, the microstructural variations in a series of low-alloy steel weld deposits containing different carbon concentrations (produced using experimental electrodes) are discussed in terms of a phenomenological model based on phase transformation theory.

Plastic relaxation of the transformation strain energy of a misfitting spherical precipitate: Ideal plastic behavior
TL;DR: In this paper, the total amount of work expended during elasto-plastic deformation is calculated and compared with the total strain energy in the corresponding pure elastic state, assuming ideal plastic behavior for an isotropic matrix containing a misfitting spherical precipitate.

Two-phase deformations of elastic solids
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that if a two-phase deformation with gradient F is a local minimizer, then given any point p 0 of the surface of discontinuity, the piecewise-homogeneous deformation corresponding to the two values F±(P0) of F(P 0) is a global minimizer.

Thermodynamics of melting and freezing in small particles
Richard Vanfleet,J. M. Mochel +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a classical thermodynamic treatment of the melting and freezing of small particles, including the effects of surface-induced order, predicts an energy barrier between a surface melted state and the liquid droplet.

Interaction between recrystallization and phase transformation during intercritical annealing in a cold-rolled dual-phase steel: A cellular automaton model
TL;DR: In this paper, the concurrent ferrite recrystallization and austenitic transformation during intercritical annealing of cold-rolled DP steels is investigated by cellular automaton (CA) modeling.
