Microstructure Mechanics and Fundamentals of Twinning,
Phase Transformation and Damage in Metals
(PhD thesis/PostDoc)
Metals and specifically high
manganese steels show remarkable mechanical properties. This
is due to the fact that depending
on chemistry and temperature
they show twin formation and/or
phase transformation as additional deformation mechanisms
besides dislocation slip. It is the
aim of the project to extend an
existing constitutive model including twinning to also take
phase transformation and damage into account. The project is
part of SFB 761 “steel – ab iniTWIP steels show remarkable de- tio” financed by the DFG
formation properties in terms of (www.stahl-abinitio.de).
This
strength and maximum elongation ensures
strong
collaboration
with experimental and characterization projects as well as ab
initio simulation input for the parameters to be used by the constitutive model.
