“…Variants of martensite hysteresis loop according to Paskal and Monasevich [14] are shown in figure 2.4.…”

Thermoelastic Behaviour, Hysteresis, and Dissipative Forces in Thermodynamics of Martensitic Transformations

“…Thermodynamic potentials dependent on the volume fraction of martensitic phase have been first introduced and analysed by Pascal & Monasevich [11,12], who postulated existence of two fraction dependent Gibbs free energy potentials representing direct and reverse martensitic transformation, respectively. They also have derived the constitutive thermodynamic force balance equations describing the temperature dependence of martensite volume fraction on the global hysteresis cycle additionally assuming the possibility to minimize these, strictly speaking, non-equilibrium potentials.…”

“…Started from the works by Kurdyumov and Kurdyumov & Khandros [1-3] on the possibility of the thermoelastic equilibrium during the martensitic transformation in shape-memory alloys, this problem still remain very important for the martensitic transformation physics. During the past time, the great number of problems was a subject for extended discussions and developments in the thermodynamics of thermoelastic martensitic transformations in shape-memory materials for the past time [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18].…”
