Effect of pressure on the polymorphism of melt crystallized polybutene-1
TL;DR: The melting, crystallization, and Form II to Form I transformation of isotactic polybutene-1 were studied under hydrostatic pressures up to 5000 atm as mentioned in this paper, showing an increase in melting temperature and decrease in the volume of melting with pressure.

A generalized theory of martensite crystallography and its application to transformations in steels
N.D.H Ross,A.G. Crocker +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new theory of martensite crystallography has been developed which enables the features of transformations involving two independent transformation shears to be predicted, based on an invariant plane strain criterion and two independent lattice invariant shears.

Simulation of grain coarsening in two dimensions by cellular-automaton
TL;DR: In this article, a computer simulation model, namely Cellular Automaton (CA), is presented to investigate the behavior of normal grain coarsening in 2D that corresponds well to the described physical model.
