Description
The section focuses on constitutive modelling of natural and artificial materials subject to elastic and inelastic deformation processes. The aim is to compare new constitutive models formulated on both the phenomenological and the micromechanics basis to determine their validity by comparison of simulations with experiments. A wide range of open problems will be considered in the section, like multi-scale modelling of heterogeneous materials, implementation of constitutive models in numerical applications, and the virtual testing of structural systems.
In shape memory alloys, the competition between interfacial and elastic strain energy contributions leads to twin branching, i.e., to refinement of the twin laminates close to the macroscopic interface between twinned martensite and austenite. We have developed a 1D model of twin branching in which the average twin spacing is a continuous function of the distance from the austenite-twinned...
Solid-state processing techniques like friction extrusion (FE), friction stir welding (FSW), and friction surfacing (FS), represent advanced methods for processing Al alloys. These techniques utilize frictional heat and intense mechanical deformation to induce microstructural evolution without reaching the melting point. This study focuses on Al-Cu-Li alloys, which are widely employed in the...
