Abstract
Dislocation theory of the mechanism and kinetics of martensitic transformation has provided a foundation for the prediction of constitutive relations for transformation plasiticity. Application to the control of stress-state dependent shaping of stress-strain behavior has demonstrated substantial improvements in uniform ductility and ductile fracture toughness. The advance of such predictive science continues to play a central role in the new enterprise of science-based materials design.
