Due to the strain-induced martensitic transformation (SIMT), the strength, ductility and toughness of TRIP steel are enhanced. The deformation behavior of TRIP steel is mainly yielded on this SIMT behavior and the deformation behaviors of the austenitic and martensitic phases. TRIP steel possesses such favorable mechanical properties due to the appropriate combination of these behaviors. However, the SIMT and deformation behavior of each phase strongly depend on the temperature and strain rate imposed, the excellent mechanical properties are realized under quite restricted circumstances. Here, the constitutive equation for single crystal TRIP steel including transformation strain on the each variant system is formulated based on continuum crystal plasticity theory. Then, the deformation behavior with patterning process of martensitic phase is simulated under plane strain condition by introducing formulated constitutive equation to FEM with cellular automata approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
