Quantification of ferrite-martensite interface in dual phase steels: A first-principles study

Submitted by Ali Ramazani on

The ferrite-martensite interfacial energy and equilibrium interfacial length as a function of martensite carbon content are assessed using first-principles atomistic simulations. The weight percent of carbon in the martensite phase was implicitly varied from 0.6 to 1.8 wt percent by modifying the lattice constant of body-centered tetragonal (BCT) martensite according to Kurdjumov and Kaminsky’s empirical expressions. With increasing carbon content, a decrease is found in both the interfacial energy and in the equilibrium distance between ferrite and martensite interfaces.

Abaqus VDLOAD/DLOAD

Submitted by mechapple on

I'm using the ABAQUS DLOAD subroutines, and I'm curious what the dimensions of the 

volume distributed body load should be. 

 

I understand ABAQUS uses [LT-2] for GRAV body loads. However, I'm curious if the 

units for BZNU acting over a volume should be [density]*[acceleration] or just

[acceleration].

 

Thank you,

<p>What is static riks solver?? Please explain in details.. As I am a learner of abaqus I get problem understanding some things, like arc length, &nbsp;increment in static riks etc.. I find that it is very useful for simulating collaps behaiour.. I wish to do a thrust experiment regarding geological setup... Please help and guide me..&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thank you&nbsp;</p>
