Strain Tensor Associated with the Driving Wave Process of Deformation of the {110}C Cubic Crystal Planes During Martensitic Transformation

Abstract

A plane strain tensor is introduced for the driving wave process of martensitic crystal growth. A case in which the wave vectors of the driving waves belong to the {110}c planes of the initial cubic phase is analyzed. It is demonstrated that for the quasi-longitudinal waves the relationship between the strain and the wave velocity cannot be reduced to their direct proportionality. This analysis is important for a precision description of the morphological parameters within the limits of dynamic theory. © 2014, Springer Science+Business Media New York.
