Abstract:
Twinned Martensite is a crystallographic structure
observed in some alloys at the microscopic level
which occurs at a minimum energy state. These
microstructures are attributed
to the macroscopic behavior of the alloys. In this talk,
I will present optimization approaches and numerical results
for minimizing an
energy functional whose solution simulates the
behavior of these microstructures.
