Phase field approach to interaction between phase transformations and plasticity at the nanoscale at large strains

In the paper, our recent phase field approach (PFA) to the interaction between phase transformations (PTs) and dislocations at the nanoscale is reviewed. It is developed at large strains as a nontrivial combination of our recent advanced PFAs to martensitic PTs and dislocation evolution. Finite element method (FEM) simulations are performed to solve the coupled phase-field and elasticity equations. The evolution of dislocations and high pressure phase in a nanograined material under pressure and shear is studied and utilized for interpretation of experimental results on plastic strain induce PTs under high pressure in rotational diamond anvil cell.
