Assessment of Thermomechanical Couplings in Tribological Surface Transformations: Application to the Irreversible Near-Surface Solid-Solid Phase Transformations

Heat sources due to the thermoelastic and classical (visco-)plastic processes and the irreversible solid-solid phase transformations (unit: MPa·s−1 or mW·mm−3) at time s under the previously defined thermomechanical loading conditions [6], where K, MPa, s, and .
