Abstract

We present a new procedure for the systematic reduction of a continuum theory of martensitic transformations to a spin system whose dynamics can be described by an automaton. Our prototypical model reproduces most of the experimental observations in martensites associated with criticality and power-law acoustic emission. In particular, it explains in a natural way why cyclic training is necessary to reach scale-free behavior.
