The residual strain after cooling consists of reorientation strain and reorientation-induced plastic strain. An internal variable, i.e., the detwinned stress, and its evolution equation were introduced into the transformation kinetics equation to describe the nonlinear hardening characteristics induced by the combined reorien- ration and detwinning mechanisms during mechanical loading.
