The Role of Driving Traction in Martensitic Phase Transitions: Theory and Experiment

9502409 Lusk这个CAREER类型的补助金将联合收割机理论和实验相结合，研究施加的应变对机械诱导相夹杂物形态的影响。 建模工作将是一个连续的，其中包括作用表面上的相变的影响。 在该项目的实验部分中，Cu-Al-Ni单晶将受到弯矩，并观察加载历史对界面运动的作用。 教育计划将强调开放式的设计问题，结合联合收割机跨学科的培训，计算建模和多层研究。 ***

9502409 Lusk This CAREER type grant will combine theory and experiment to study the influence of applied strain on the morphology of mechanically induced phase inclusions. The modelling effort will be a continuum one which includes the role surface effects on phase transformations. In the experimental component of the project, single crystals of CU-Al-Ni will be subjected to a bending moment and the role of the loading history on interface movement will be observed. The educational plan will emphasize open ended design problems which combine interdisciplinary training, computational modeling and multi-tier research. ***
