Mathematical and Computer Modelling, 34 : 2000, 1289-1305 STABILITY OF MICROSTRUCTURES FOR SOME MARTENSITIC TRANSFORMATIONS

We analyze the stability of laminated microstructure for martensitic crystals that undergo cubic to trigonal, orthorhombic to triclinic, and trigonal to monoclinic transformations. We show that the microstructure is unique and stable for all laminates except when the lattice parameters satisfy certain identities.
