Computer Simulation Of Twinning - Detwinning Processes Of Shape Memory Alloys
Principal Investigator: A/P Xie Zeliang
Thermo-mechanical twinning is a unique microstructure feature of shape memory materials. The mechanism of formation of twinned structure and the detwinning processes under applied stresses are still not well understood. We are interested in understanding of the fundamentals of twinning and detwinning processes using computer simulation techniques such as energy minimisation and molecular dynamics.
