A general finite element framework for the application to different types of phase transforming alloys and under general thermo-mechanical loadings is presented. The developed technique is exemplified on cubic to tetragonal transformations of shape memory alloys.

For interface-tracking simulation of two-phase flows with a high density ratio, we propose a computational method, NS–PFM, combining Navier–Stokes (NS) equations with phase-field model (PFM) based on the free energy theory. Through the numerical simulations, it was confirmed that (1) the...
