We describe the microstructure, shape and dynamics of growth of a droplet of martensite nucleating in a parent austenite during a solid-solid transformation, using a Landau theory written in terms of conventional affine, elastic deformations and {em non-affine} degrees of freedom. Non-affineness, $phi$, serves as a source of strain incompatibility and screens long-ranged elastic interactions. It is produced wherever the local stress exceeds a threshold and anneals diffusively thereafter. A description in terms of $phi$ is inevitable when the separation between defect pairs, possibly generated during the course of the transformation, is small. Using a variational calculation, we find three types of stable solutions ({hv I}, {hv II} and {hv III}) for the structure of the product droplet depending on the scaled mobilities of $phi$ parallel and perpendicular to the parent-product interface and the stress threshold. In {hv I}, $phi$ is vanishingly small, {hv II} involves large $phi$ localized in regions of high stress within the parent-product interface and {hv III} where $phi$ completely wets the parent-product interface. While width $l$ and size $W$ of the twins follows $lproptosqrt{W}$ in solution {hv I}, this relation does not hold for {hv II} or {hv III}. We obtain a dynamical phase diagram featuring these solutions and argue that they represent specific microstructures such as twinned or dislocated martensites.

We study the nucleation dynamics of a model solid state transformation and the criterion for microstructure selection using a molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Our simulations show a range of microstructures depending on the depth of quench. We clo
sely follow the dynamics of the solid and find that transient {em non-affine zones} (NAZ) are created at and evolve with the rapidly moving transformation front. The dynamics of these plastic regions determines the selection of microstructure. We formulate an {it elastoplastic model} which couples the elastic strain to the non-affine deformation, and recover all the qualitative features of the MD simulation. Using this model, we construct a dynamical phase diagram for microstructure selection, in addition to making definite testable predictions.
Adding thermal conductivity enhancements to increase thermal power in solid-liquid phase-change thermal energy storage modules compromises volumetric energy density and often times reduces the mass and volume of active phase change material (PCM) by
well over half. In this study, a new concept of building thermal energy storage modules using high-conductivity, solid-solid, shape memory alloys is demonstrated to eliminate this trade-off and enable devices that have both high heat transfer rate and high thermal capacity. Nickel titanium, Ni50.28Ti49.36, was solution heat treated and characterized using differential scanning calorimetry and Xenon Flash to determine transformation temperature (78deg-C), latent heat (183 kJm-3), and thermal conductivity in the Austenite and Martensite phases (12.92/12.64 Wm-1K-1). Four parallel-plate thermal energy storage demonstrators were designed, fabricated, and tested in a thermofluidic test setup. These included a baseline sensible heating module (aluminum), a conventional solid-liquid PCM module (aluminum/1-octadecanol), an all-solid-solid PCM module (Ni50.28Ti49.36), and a composite solid-solid/solid-liquid PCM module (Ni50.28Ti49.36/1-octadecanol). By using high-conductivity solid-solid PCMs, and eliminating the need for encapsulants and conductivity enhancements, we are able to demonstrate a 1.73-3.38 times improvement in volumetric thermal capacity and a 2.03-3.21 times improvement in power density as compared to the conventional approaches. These experimental results are bolstered by analytical models to explain the observed heat transfer physics and reveal a 5.86 times improvement in thermal time constant. This work demonstrates the ability to build high-capacity and high-power thermal energy storage modules using multifunctional shape memory alloys and opens the door for leap ahead improvement in thermal energy storage performance.
We analyze the stability of a planar solid-solid interface at which a chemical reaction occurs. Examples include oxidation, nitridation, or silicide formation. Using a continuum model, including a general formula for the stress-dependence of the reac
tion rate, we show that stress effects can render a planar interface dynamically unstable with respect to perturbations of intermediate wavelength.
We demonstrate that irreversible structural reorganization is not necessary for the observation of yield behaviour in an amorphous solid. While the majority of solids strained to their yield point do indeed undergo an irreversible reorganization, we
find a significant fraction of solids exhibit yield via a reversible strain. We also demonstrate that large instantaneous strains in excess of the yield stress can result in complete stress relaxation, a result of the large non-affine motions driven by the applied strain. The empirical similarity of the dependence of the ratio of stress over strain on the non-affine mean squared displacement with that for the shear modulus obtained from quiescent liquid at non-zero temperature supports the proposition that rigidity depends on the size of the sampled configurational space only, and is insensitive as to how this space is sampled.
We propose a mathematical description of crystal structure: underlying translational periodicity together with the distinct atomic positions up to the symmetry operations in the unit cell. It is consistent with the international table of crystallogra
phy. By the Cauchy-Born hypothesis, such a description can be integrated with the theory of continuum mechanics to calculate a derived crystal structure produced by solid-solid phase transformation. In addition, we generalize the expressions for orientation relationship between the parent lattice and the derived lattice. The derived structure rationalizes the lattice parameters and the general equivalent atomic positions that assist the indexing process of X-ray diffraction analysis for low symmetry martensitic materials undergoing phase transformation. The analysis is demonstrated in a CuAlMn shape memory alloy. From its austenite phase (L2_1 face-centered cubic structure), we identify that the derived martensitic structure has the orthorhombic symmetry Pmmm with derived lattice parameters a_dv = 4.36491 AA, b_dv = 5.40865 AA and c_dv = 4.2402 AA, by which the complicated X-ray Laue diffraction pattern can be well indexed, and the orientation relationship can be verified.
