“…Indeed, when metallurgical transformations occur under small external stress lower than the yield stress of the weaker phase (austenite), a supplementary plastic strain is observed (Leblond et al, 1986(Leblond et al, , 1989Fischer et al, 1998;Taleb et al, 2001;Taleb and Sidoroff, 2003;Meftah et al, 2007;Hoang et al, 2008;Moumni et al, 2011). This plastic strain increment is called TRansformation Induced Plasticity (TRIP) and has a significant effect on the distribution of the residual stresses, distortions and mechanical properties (Leblond et al, 1986(Leblond et al, , 1989Taleb et al, 2004;Dan et al, 2008;Tahimi et al, 2012;Deng and Murakawa, 2013;Song et al, 2014).…”
