Abstract
We present a new methodology 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 scalefree
behavior.
