On the Sachs bound in stress‐induced phase transformations in polycrystalline scalar shape‐memory alloys

Abstract

We consider stress–induced transformations of polycrystalline shape–memory alloys which are so–called scalar materials. In this case the Sachs bound on the phase transformation yield stress turns out to be sharp. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
