In this work we introduce a new system of partial differential equations as a simplified model for the evolution of reversible martensitic transformations under thermal cycling in low hysteresis alloys. The model is developed in the context of nonlinear continuum mechanics, where the developed theory is mostly static, and cannot capture the influence of dynamics on martensitic microstructures. First, we prove existence of weak solutions; secondly, we study the physically relevant limit when the interface energy density vanishes, and the elastic constants tend to infinity. The limit problem provides a framework for the moving mask approximation recently introduced by the author. In the last section we study the limit equations in a one-dimensional setting. After closing the equations with a constitutive relation between the phase interface velocity and the temperature of the one-dimensional sample, the equations become a two-phase Stefan problem with a kinetic condition at the free boundary. Under some further assumptions, we show that the phase interface reaches the domain boundary in finite time.

In this work we introduce a moving mask approximation to describe the dynamics of austenite to martensite phase transitions at a continuum level. In this framework, we prove a new type of Hadamard jump condition, from which we deduce that the deforma tion gradient must be of the form $mathsf{1} +mathbf{a}otimes mathbf{n}$ a.e. in the martensite phase. This is useful to better understand the complex microstructures and the formation of curved interfaces between phases in new ultra-low hysteresis alloys such as Zn45Au30Cu25, and provides a selection mechanism for physically-relevant energy-minimising microstructures. In particular, we use the new type of Hadamard jump condition to deduce a rigidity theorem for the two well problem. The latter provides more insight on the cofactor conditions, particular conditions of supercompatibility between phases believed to influence reversibility of martensitic transformations.
Differential evolution (DE) is a well-known type of evolutionary algorithms (EA). Similarly to other EA variants it can suffer from small populations and loose diversity too quickly. This paper presents a new approach to mitigate this issue: We propo se to generate new candidate solutions by utilizing reversible linear transformation applied to a triplet of solutions from the population. In other words, the population is enlarged by using newly generated individuals without evaluating their fitness. We assess our methods on three problems: (i) benchmark function optimization, (ii) discovering parameter values of the gene repressilator system, (iii) learning neural networks. The empirical results indicate that the proposed approach outperforms vanilla DE and a version of DE with applying differential mutation three times on all testbeds.
We describe a novel approach for the rational design and synthesis of self-assembled periodic nanostructures using martensitic phase transformations. We demonstrate this approach in a thin film of perovskite SrSnO3 with reconfigurable periodic nanost ructures consisting of regularly spaced regions of sharply contrasted dielectric properties. The films can be designed to have different periodicities and relative phase fractions via chemical doping or strain engineering. The dielectric contrast within a single film can be tuned using temperature and laser wavelength, effectively creating a variable photonic crystal. Our results show the realistic possibility of designing large-area self-assembled periodic structures using martensitic phase transformations with the potential of implementing built-to-order nanostructures for tailored optoelectronic functionalities.
We consider a singularly-perturbed nonconvex energy functional which arises in the study of microstructures in shape memory alloys. The scaling law for the minimal energy predicts a transition from a parameter regime in which uniform structures are f avored, to a regime in which the formation of fine patterns is expected. We focus on the transition regime and derive the reduced model in the sense of $Gamma$-convergence. The limit functional turns out to be similar to the Mumford-Shah functional with additional constraints on the jump set of admissible functions. One key ingredient in the proof is an approximation result for $SBV^p$ functions whose jump sets have a prescribed orientation.
The geometry of an admissible Backlund transformation for an exterior differential system is described by an admissible Cartan connection for a geometric structure on a tower with infinite--dimensional skeleton which is the universal prolongation of a $|1|$--graded semi-simple Lie algebra.
