Abstract
A simple “atomistic” model based on the strain interaction between local state variables is found to capture the essentials of strain related structural phase transitions in non-martensitic materials. The computer-simulated thermodynamic properties of the order parameter and the related microstructures, e.g. twin boundaries, show the same characteristic features as the experimental observations which are briefly reviewed.Keywords
