Topics
The ESOMAT 2027 program covers current research on martensitic and related displacive transformations, from fundamental mechanisms and alloy design through processing to applications. It pays particular attention to functional behavior such as superelasticity and the shape memory effect, to the link between microstructure and performance, and to recent work in additive manufacturing, simulation and characterization. The main topics are:
- TopicA: Materials with Martensitic and other Displacive Transformations
Materials exhibiting displacive phase transitions, including martensitic mechanisms in metals, ceramics, and complex alloys.
- TopicB: Superelasticity, Pseudoelasticity and Shape-Memory Effects
Functional behavior based on reversible martensitic transformations under thermal or mechanical stimuli.
- TopicC: Correlation of Microstructure, and functional Properties
Linking phase structure, defects, and interfaces to functional performance and transformation behavior.
- TopicD: Thermomechanical Behavior, Fatigue and Fracture
Mechanical response under thermal cycling, long-term stability, fatigue mechanisms, and failure analysis.
- TopicE: Advanced Processing Techniques, Heat treatments, Aging, Ordering and Stabilization
Tailoring properties through thermomechanical processing, microstructural control, and long-term stabilization.
- TopicF: Computational Material Design and Alloy Development
Theory-guided design of new materials using modeling, simulations, and data-driven methods.
- TopicG: Scale and Time Bridging Experiments and Simulations
Multiscale and time-resolved approaches to capture transformation kinetics and microstructural evolution.
- TopicH: 3D Additive Manufacturing
New possibilities in shaping and functionalizing transformation materials via additive processes.
- TopicI: Kinetics and Dynamics at short and long Time Scales
Understanding transformation mechanisms from ultrafast to long-term processes.
- TopicJ: Elastocaloric Cooling, Thermoelastic Energy Harvesting, new Functionalities and Emerging Applications
Exploring functional uses of martensitic materials for energy conversion and novel device concepts.
- TopicK: Advanced Materials Characterization
State-of-the-art techniques for in-situ, high-resolution, and time-resolved analysis of transformation phenomena.
