Multiscale Modeling of Solidification of Multi-component Alloys

Application of Shape Memory Alloys in Seismic Isolation: A Review

In the last two decades, there has been an increasing interest in structural engineering control methods. Shape memory alloys and seismic isolation systems are examples of passive control systems that use of any one alone, effectively improve the seismic performance of the structure. Characteristics such as large strain range without any residual deformation, high damping capacity, excellent re...

A level set simulation of dendritic solidification of multi-component alloys

A level set method combining features of front tracking methods and fixed domain methods is presented to model three-dimensional microstructure evolution in the solidification of multi-component alloys. Phase boundaries are tracked by solving the multi-phase level set equations. Diffused interfaces are constructed from these tracked phase boundaries using the level set functions. Based on the a...

A Mathematical Model for the Dissolution of Particles in Multi-Component Alloys

Dissolution of stoichiometric multi-component particles is an important process ocurring during the heat treatment of as-cast aluminium alloys prior to hot extrusion. A mathematical model is proposed to describe such a process. In this model equations are given to determine the position of the particle interface in time, using a number of diffusion equations which are coupled by nonlinear bound...

A mathematical model for the dissolution of stoichiometric particles in multi-component alloys

A general model for the dissolution of stoichiometric particles in multi-component alloys is proposed and analysed. We introduce the concept of mass-conserving solutions and give a self-similar solution for the resulting Stefan-problem. Furthermore, we show that particle dissolution in multi-component alloys can under certain circumstances be approximated by a model for particle dissolution in ...
