Martensitic transformations in isotropic inhomogeneous elastic-plastic solids: continuum theory and analysis of nucleation, kinetics and size effect

Abstract A thermodynamically consistent phenomenological theory of interactions between strain-gradient plasticity (SGP) and martensitic transformations (MTs) is developed for isotropic solids with incoherent phase boundaries (PBs) at the microscale, including a heterogeneous nuc...
