We briefly review the state-of-the-art in phase-field modeling of microstructure evolution. The
focus is placed on recent applications of phase-field simulations of solid-state microstructure …

In the last few decades, the phase field method has shown tremendous capabilities of
predicting microstructure evolutions at the mesoscale scale. This method was widely used …

The allotropic phase transformation in zirconia from the tetragonal to monoclinic double
lattices is known to occur by a martensitic twinning mechanism which shows a complex …

The one-way shape memory effect (OWSME) of nanocrystalline NiTi shape memory alloy
(SMA) and its cyclic degeneration under thermo-mechanically coupled cyclic loading …

An in-situ high resolution digital image correlation investigation during uniaxial tensile
deformation reveals the recoverable and the non-recoverable strain mechanisms in a Ni 51 …

The effect of grain size on temperature-dependent elastic modulus (TDEM) of polycrystalline
NiTi over a temperature span of 200° C was investigated by dynamic thermomechanical …

A multifunctional NiTi alloy with Invar (dimension-invariant), Elinvar (elastic modulus-
invariant) and Rinvar (resistivity-invariant) properties over the temperature range from 125 K …

Martensitic tetragonal-to-monoclinic transformation in zirconia is a “double-edged sword”,
enabling transformation toughening or shape memory effects in favorable cases, but also …

In the framework of thermodynamics and based on the Ginzburg-Landau's theory and crystal
plasticity, a three-dimensional phase field model was constructed to predict the cyclic …

Mechanical training via cyclic loading and unloading was widely used in NiMnGa shape
memory alloys (SMAs) to create single or double variant states for reducing the resistance to …
