    On a thermomechanical model of phase transitions in steel
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2007) Chełminski, Krzysztof; Hömberg, Dietmar; Kern, Daniela
    We investigate a thermomechanical model of phase transitions in steel. The strain is assumed to be additively decomposed into an elastic and a thermal part as well as a contribution from transformation induced plasticity. The resulting model can be viewed as an extension of quasistatic linear thermoelasticity. We prove existence of a unique solution and conclude with some numerical simulations.

    A mathematical model for case hardening of steel
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2007) Fasano, Antonio; Hömberg, Dietmar; Panizzi, Lucia
    A mathematical model for the gas carburizing of steel is presented. Carbon is dissolved in the surface layer of a low-carbon steel part at a temperature sufficient to render the steel austenitic, followed by quenching to form a martensitic microstructure. The model consists of a nonlinear evolution equation for the temperature, coupled with a nonlinear evolution equation for the carbon concentration, both coupled with two ordinary differential equations to describe the phase fractions. We prove existence and uniqueness of a solution and finally present some numerical simulations.

    A revisited Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov model and the evolution of grain-size distributions in steel
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2016) Hömberg, Dietmar; Patacchini, Francesco Saverio; Sakamoto, Kenichi; Zimmer, Johannes
    The classical Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov approach for nucleation and growth models of diffusive phase transitions is revisited and applied to model the growth of ferrite in multiphase steels. For the prediction of mechanical properties of such steels, a deeper knowledge of the grain structure is essential. To this end, a Fokker-Planck evolution law for the volume distribution of ferrite grains is developed and shown to exhibit a log-normally distributed solution. Numerical parameter studies are given and confirm expected properties qualitatively. As a preparation for future work on parameter identification, a strategy is presented for the comparison of volume distributions with area distributions experimentally gained from polished micrograph sections.

    Modelling and simulation of flame cutting for steel plates with solid phases and melting
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2019) Arenas Jaén, Manuel J.; Hömberg, Dietmar; Lasarzik, Robert; Mikkonen, Pertti; Petzold, ThomasFlame cutting, finite element method, heat equation, phase transitions, transport equation
    The goal of this work is to describe in detail a quasi-stationary state model which can be used to deeply understand the distribution of the heat in a steel plate and the changes in the solid phases of the steel and into liquid phase during the flame cutting process. We use a 3D-model similar to previous works from Thiebaud [1] and expand it to consider phases changes, in particular, austenite formation and melting of material. Experimental data is used to validate the model and study its capabilities. Parameters defining the shape of the volumetric heat source and the power density are calibrated to achieve good agreement with temperature measurements. Similarities and differences with other models from literature are discussed.
