Phase Boundaries in Alloys with Elastic Misst
نویسنده
چکیده
We study a mathematical model describing phase transformations in alloys with kinetics driven by mass transport and stress. To describe the dynamics, a Cahn-Hilliard system taking elastic eeects into account is studied. Existence and uniqueness results for the resulting singular elliptic{parabolic system are given. In the Cahn-Hilliard model, phase boundaries are described by a diffuse interface with small positive thickness. In the stationary case we identify the sharp interface free boundary problem that arises when the interfacial thickness tends to zero. In particular, we obtain a geometric partition problem generalizing variants of isoperimetric problems to situations where elastic interactions cannot be neglected.

Ising Model for Phase Separation in Alloyswith Anisotropic Elastic Interaction
When a metallic alloy is quenched into a miscibility gap, a mixture of two phases develops, whose domain structure then coarsens because of the interfacial energy between the two phases. This spatial arrangement of the domains and the rate at which they evolve may be strongly innuenced by elastic interactions. In a recent paper the authors described a method for simulating the eeect of anisotro...
متن کاملIsing Model for Phase Separation in Alloys with Anisotropic Elastic Interaction. I. Theory
We propose a model to study, on an atomistic scale, the eeects of elastic misst strains on the growth and coarsening of domains in phase-separating alloys. The model considered is a two-dimensional square crystal lattice with periodic boundary conditions and with an A or B atom near each site. To model the elastic interaction, nearest and next-nearest neighbors are connected by springs with lon...
متن کاملHysteresis and Stick-Slip Motion of Phase Boundaries in Dynamic Models of Phase Transitions
We investigate hysteretic behavior in two dynamic models for solid-solid phase transitions. An elastic bar with a nonconvex double-well elastic energy density is subjected to time-dependent displacement boundary conditions. Both models include inertia and a viscous stress term that provides energy dissipation. The first model involves a strain-gradient term that models interfacial energy. In th...

This study presents a new approach to control the nonlinear dynamics of an adaptive absorber using shape memory alloy (SMA) element. Shape memory alloys are classified as smart materials that can remember their original shape after deformation. Stress and temperature-induced phase transformations are two typical behaviors of shape memory alloys. Changing the stiffness associated with phase tran...

A mathematical model is presented to investigate the effects of sandiness, irregular boundary interfaces, heterogeneity and viscoelasticity on the phase velocity of Love waves. Geometry of the problem is consisting of an initially stressed viscoelastic layer with corrugated irregular boundaries, which is sandwiched between heterogeneous orthotropic semi-infinite half-space with initial stress a...
