Phase field modeling with deformation‐dependent interface energies

In the last years, phase field method has established itself for simulation of various problem types, especially in fields microstructure evolution and transformations as well fluid dynamics. Concerning first two cases, usually a constant, deformation-independent, surface energy is considered. this work, however, deformation-dependent elasticity according to [5] will be incorporated into theory. line with [4], finite element framework an Allen-Cahn type model coupled continuum mechanics presented, which solved monolithic manner by means Newton's method. The resulting also accounts spatial diffuse interface functional Ginzburg–Landau type. implemented employed numerical simulations. These used study behavior model.
