Martensitic Phase Transformations

Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) exhibit complex behaviors as a result of their constituent phases and microstructure evolution. In this paper, we focus on the numerical simulations of microstructure evolution in SMAs using a phase-field model for the two dimensional square-to-rectangular martensitic phase transformations. The phase-field model, based on the Ginzburg-Landau theory, has strong non-linearity, thermo-mechanical coupling, and higher-order differential terms and presents substantial challenges for numerical simulations. The isogeometric analysis, developed in this paper using the rich NURBS basis functions, offers several advantages in solving such complex problems with higher-order partial differential equations as the problem at hand. To our best knowledge, we report here for the first time the use of the new method in the study of microstructure evolution in SMAs. The numerical experiments of microstructure evolution have been carried out on the FePd SMA specimen. The results are in good agreement with those previously reported in the literature.
