A systematic experimental analysis based on an assessment of the mean martensite plate size (hplate) in sub-grain domains was implemented to characterize the martensite morphology in polycrystalline Cu-based shape memory ...

Experiments exploring the Magnetic Barkhausen Noise (MBN) during the martensitic transformation led to the discovery of a novel phenomenon, here called “Spontaneous magnetic emission” (SME). This new phenomenon was identified ...

Isothermal treatments at 413 K were performed in Cu–Al–Mn shape memory alloy samples, to study their effects on the martensitic transformation. This procedure, within the miscibility gap, produces spinodal decomposition. ...

A simple interparticle potential for a set of classical identical particles is used to model martensitic transformations in two dimensions. The influence of the symmetry of the phases involved in the transformation on the ...

The effect of Ag additions on the reverse martensitic transformation in the Cu-10 mass% Al alloy was studied using differential thermal analysis (DTA), optical (OM) and scanning electron microscopies (SEM) and X-ray ...
