On a New Kinetic Modelling Approach of the Irreversible Quasi-Surface Metallurgical Phase Transformations
Figure 3
(a) Schematic diagram of the wheel/rail problem arising in the case of an irreversible quasi-surface metallurgical phase transformation; (b) schematic diagram of the qualitative distribution of the metallurgical variable in the depth of the rail. The qualitative predictions of -field which will be obtained using a local approach (solid line) and a nonlocal approach (dashed and dotted lines). The dashed line shows the effects of the temperature () and its gradient () on the -field. The dotted line gives the effects of the metallurgical nonlocal terms on the -field.
