Finite Element Analysis of Microstructure for the Cubic to Tetragonal Transformation∗
نویسنده
چکیده
Martensitic crystals which can undergo a cubic to tetragonal phase transformation have a nonconvex energy density with three symmetry-related, rotationally invariant energy wells. We give estimates for the numerical approximation of a first-order laminate for such martensitic crystals. We give bounds for the L2 convergence of directional derivatives in the “twin” plane, for the L2 convergence of the deformation, for the weak convergence of the deformation gradient, for the convergence of the microstructure, and for the convergence of nonlinear integrals of the deformation gradient.

On the Stability of Microstructure for General Martensitic Transformations
We describe a general theory for the stability of the laminated microstructure for martensitic crystals. Our theory has been applied to the orthorhombic to monoclinic transformation, the cubic to tetragonal transformation, the tetragonal to monoclinic transformation, and the cubic to orthorhombic transformation.
متن کاملApproximation of a martensitic laminate with varying volume fractions
Abstract. We give results for the approximation of a laminate with varying volume fractions for multi-well energy minimization problems modeling martensitic crystals that can undergo either an orthorhombic to monoclinic or a cubic to tetragonal transformation. We construct energy minimizing sequences of deformations which satisfy the corresponding boundary condition, and we establish a series o...
متن کاملA Finite Element Model for Martensitic Thin Films
A finite element approximation of the thin film limit for a sharp interface bulk energy for martensitic crystals is given. The energy density models the softening of the elastic modulus controlling the low-energy path from the cubic to the tetragonal lattice, the loss of stability of the tetragonal phase at high temperatures and the loss of stability of the cubic phase at low temperatures, and ...
متن کاملNonconforming finite element approximation of crystalline microstructure
We consider a class of nonconforming nite element approximations of a simply laminated microstructure which minimizes the nonconvex variational problem for the deformation of martensitic crystals which can undergo either an orthorhombic to monoclinic (double well) or a cubic to tetragonal (triple well) transformation. We rst establish a series of error bounds in terms of elastic energies for th...
