A Comparative Study of Deterministic and Stochastic Models of Microstructure Evolution during Multi-Step Hot Deformation of Steels.

Modern construction materials, including steels, have to combine strength with good formability. In metallic materials, these features are obtained for heterogeneous multiphase microstructures. Design of such microstructures requires advanced numerical models.

Physical and Numerical Simulations for Predicting Distribution of Microstructural Features during Thermomechanical Processing of Steels.

The design of modern construction materials with heterogeneous microstructures requires a numerical model that can predict the distribution of microstructural features instead of average values. The accuracy and reliability of such models depend on the proper identification of the coefficients for a particular material. This work was motivated by the need for advanced experimental data to identify stochastic material models.
