Transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) due to precipitation during continuous tempering of quenched and tempered steels by Niki Nouri, Elena Hillenmeyer, Thanusan Thavarajan, Stefan Dietrich, Volker Schulze

“…The results have proven the existence of TRIP strain during continuous tempering and its linear dependence on the fraction of the precipitates. A higher amount of carbon results in a growth of the precipitates surface area percentage, leading to an increase in the TRIP strain and consequently the TRIP constant. …”

Statistical Evaluation of Non-Linear Parameter Estimation Procedures for Adsorption Equilibrium Models by Guilherme Ozorio Cassol, Roger Gallon, Marcio Schwaab, Elisa Barbosa-Coutinho, João B. Severo Júnior, José Carlos Pinto

“…The main objective of this work is to present and compare different non-linear procedures for parameter estimation of adsorption equilibrium models, based on theoretical arguments and also on the numerical estimation of adsorption equilibrium parameters, using available experimental data for adsorption of methylene blue onto activated carbon. The results obtained indicate that the best parameter estimation procedure is the one that relies on available equilibrium concentrations in the bulk phase as a function of the fluid volume, adsorbent mass and initial concentrations in the bulk phase, without transformation of measured experimental values and model parameters. …”
