THE FORTY-EIGHTH GOLD MEDALIST OF THE JAPAN INSTITUTE OF METALS, 2003 Physical Metallurgy and Micromechanics

抄録

This article first reviews a part of my past work. The subjects referred to are work hardening of a dispersion strengthened alloy, diffusional stress relaxation around an inclusion, stress aging, double kink formation in a dislocation, the role of boundary or interfacial sliding in stress relaxation and creep of a composite and a polycrystal. Next, micromechanics is applied to stress induced martensitic transformation. In contrast to a standard method of analysis, a change in the structure of a martensite plate by stress is examined. This change is small at the onset of transformation, but becomes larger as transformation progresses.
