The deformation-induced martensitic transformation observed in specific materials can enhance their mechanical properties or result in functional properties. For example, the transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) effect results in a good combination of ...
The preferred deformation mechanisms with respect to the load path are studied in a medium stacking fault energy 304 austenitic stainless steel that exhibits both transformation induced plasticity and twinning induced plasticity. In situ neutron diffractio ...
In this study, a miniaturized cruciform-shaped sample geometry which allows reaching high plastic strain under equibiaxial loading with reduced thickness at the test section is presented. The thinning method results in excellent surface quality that can be ...
The degradation of the superelastic properties of a commercial NiTi alloy is studied during uniaxial, biaxial and load-path-change cycling performed in-situ with synchrotron X-ray diffraction. Careful examination of the diffraction pattern during uniaxial ...
