Orientation-dependent deformation and failure of micropillar shape memory ceramics: A 3D phase-field study

I am pleased to share our latest open-access article, just published in Extreme Mechanics Letters.

This study introduces a phase-field (PF) based framework that integrates a PF-Martensitic Phase Transformation model, a PF fracture model, and a crystal viscoplasticity model to investigate the effects of grain orientation on martensitic phase transformation (MPT), plastic slip, and fracture mechanisms in shape memory ceramics (SMCs) micropillars. For the first time, we produced a pole figure illustrating orientation-dependent fracture mechanics in 3D samples, closely mimicking micropillar experiments.
