Conditions of compatibility for twinned martensiteDefinition. (Compatibility condition) Two positive-definite symmetric stretch tensors Ui and Uj are compatible if:
, where Q is a rotation, n is the normal direction of interface, a and Q are to be decided.
Result 1 [KB Result 5.1]Given F and G as positive definite tensors, rotation Q, vector a ≠ 0, |n|=1, s.t.
iff: (1) C = G-TFTFG-1≠Identity(2) eigenvalues of C satisfy: λ1 ≤ λ2 =1 ≤ λ3
And there are exactly two solutions given as follow: (k=±1, ρ is chosen to let |n|=1)

, where Q is a rotation, n is the normal direction of interface, a and Q are to be decided.
Result 2 (Mallard’s Law)[KB Result 5.2]Given F and G as positive definite tensors, (i) F=Q’FR for some rotation Q’ and some 180° rotation R with axis ê; (ii)FTF≠GTG, then one rotation Q, vector a ≠ 0, |n|=1, s.t.
And there are exactly two solutions given as follow: (ρ is chosen to let |n|=1) Need to satisfy some conditions;
Usually there are TWO solutions for each pair of {F,G} ;

Austenite-Martensite Interface (★)
(★★)
Need to check middle eigenvalue of is 1.Which is equivalent to check:
Order of g(λ) ≤ 6, actually it’s at most quadratic in λ and it’s symmetric with 1/2. so it has form:
And g(λ) has a root in (0,1) g(0)g(1/2) ≤ 0. and use this get one condition;
Another condition is that from 1 is the middle eigenvalue (λ1-1)(1-λ3) ≥ 0
Austenite-Martensite Interface
Result 3 [KB Result 7.1]Given Ui and vector a, n that satisfy the twinning equation (★), we can obtain a solution to the aust.-martensite interface equation (★★), using following procedure:(Step 1) Calculate:
The austenite-martensite interface eq has a solution iff: δ ≤ -2 and η ≥ 0;(Step 2) Calculate λ (VOlUME fraction for martensites)
(Step 3) Calculate C and find C’s three eigenvalues and corresponding eigenvectors.And ρ is chosen to make |m|=1 and k = ±1.
Need to satisfy some conditions;Usually there are Four solutions for each pair of {Ui, Uj} ;
(★)(★★)
Austenite-Martensite Interface (★)
(★★)
What if
Order of g(λ) < 2, β=0; g(λ) has a root in (0,1),
Now, λ is free only if belongs to (0,1).Another condition is that from 1 is the middle eigenvalue (λ1-1)(1-λ3) ≥ 0
Cofactor conditions
• Under certain denegeracy conditions on the input data U, a, n, there can be additional solutions of (★★), and these conditions called cofactor conditions:
• Simplified equivalent form: (Study of the cofactor condition. JMPS 2566-2587(2013))

• Conditions:
• Geometrical explanations of these conditions:1) det U = 1 means no volume change2) middle eigenvalue is 1 means there is an invariant plane btw
Aust. and Mart.3) cofactor conditions imply infinite # of compatible interfaces btw
