Tribological Surface Transformations (TSTs), which are irreversible near-surface solid-solid phase transformations, tend to occur on railroads frequented by heavy freight trains. The present study is proposed to assess the contribution of thermomechanical coupling processes to the emergence and development of TSTs near the surface of the rails.

Under compressive loads combined with friction, some materials undergo Tribological Surface Transformations (TSTs) on the surface of the loaded parts and in the immediately vicinity, which in the case of metals, are known as irreversible solid-solid phase transformations. During the solid-solid phase transformations occurring under mechanical loads, TRansformation Induced Plasticity (TRIP) processes are generated at much lower stress levels than those associated with the yield strength of the material in classical plasticity. In order to assess the effects of thermomechanical coupling in these TSTs, a one-dimensional modelling based on irreversible solid-solid phase transformations and classical plasticity is presented and discussed.

During the manufacturing processes or the operational phases, some materials are liable to undergo metallurgical phenomena known as irreversible solid-solid phase transformations or Tribological Surface Transformations (TSTs). The treads of several rails in the French railroad network have been affected by TSTs. The kinetic model presented in this paper describes the initiation of TSTs and their development near the rail surface.

Molar heat capacities and molar enthalpies of fusion of the solvates Zn(NO3)2 . 2·24 DMSO, Zn(NO3)2 . 8·11 DMSO, Zn(NO3)2 . 6 DMSO, NaNO3 . 2·85 DMSO, and AgNO3 . DMF, where DMSO is dimethyl sulfoxide and DMF is dimethylformamide, have been determined over the temperature range 240 to 400 K. Endothermic peaks found for the zinc nitrate solvates below the liquidus temperature have been ascribed to solid phase transformations. The molar enthalpies of the solid phase transformations are close to 5 kJ mol-1 for all zinc nitrate solvates investigated. The dependence of the molar heat capacity on the temperature outside the phase transformation region can be described by a linear equation for both the solid and liquid phases.

A thermomechanical coupling between a hyper-viscoelastic tire and a representative pavement layer was conducted to assess the effect of various temperature profiles on the mechanical behavior of a rolling truck tire. The two deformable bodies, namely the tire and pavement layer, were subjected to steady-state-uniform and non-uniform temperature profiles to identify the significance of considering temperature as a variable in contact-stress prediction. A myriad of ambient, internal air, and pavement-surface conditions were simulated, along with combinations of applied tire load, tire-inflation pressure, and traveling speed. Analogous to winter, the low temperature profiles induced a smaller tire-pavement contact area that resulted in stress localization. On the other hand, under high temperature conditions during the summer, higher tire deformation resulted in lower contact-stress magnitudes owing to an increase in the tire-pavement contact area. In both conditions, vertical and longitudinal contact stresses are impacted, while transverse contact stresses are relatively less affected. This behavior, however, may change under a non-free-rolling condition, such as braking, accelerating, and cornering. By incorporating temperature into the tire-pavement interaction model, changes in the magnitude and distribution of the three-dimensional contact stresses were manifested. This would have a direct implication on the rolling resistance and near-surface behavior of flexible pavements.

The problem of step motion during lateral growth in solid-solid phase transformations is re-examined. Results are obtained for the steady motion of an individual ledge when volume diffusion in the parent phase is the predominant contribution to the growth rate. A comparison is made between our results and the earlier work of Jones & Trivedi (1971). There are significant differences between the two sets of results particularly in the limit of small perturbations to the Laplacian diffusion field. To confirm the accuracy of the results presented here the calculations have been made by two different methods.

A short review on a thermodynamically consistent multiphase phase-field approach for virtual melting has been presented. The important outcomes of solid-solid phase transformations via intermediate melt have been discussed for HMX crystal. It is found out that two nanoscale material parameters and solid-melt barrier term in the phase-field model significantly affect the mechanism of PTs, induces nontrivial scale effects, and changes PTs behaviors at the nanoscale during virtual melting.
