چکیده
We consider a generalization of the Cahn-Hilliard equation that incorporates an elastic energy density which, being quasi-convex, incorporates micro-structure formation on smaller length scales. We explore the global existence of weak solutions in two and three dimensions. We compare theoretical predictions with experimental observations of coarsening in superalloys.

A generalized Cahn–Hilliard equation incorporating geometrically linear elasticity
We consider a generalisation of the Cahn–Hilliard equation that incorporates an elastic energy density which, being quasiconvex, incorporates microstructure formation on smaller length scales. We prove global existence of weak solutions in certain microstructural regimes in (one and) two dimensions and present sufficient conditions for uniqueness. Preliminary numerical computations to illustrat...
متن کاملComparison study of the conservative Allen-Cahn and the Cahn-Hilliard equations
In this paper, a comparison study of conservative Allen–Cahn and Cahn–Hilliard equations is presented. We consider two massconservative Allen–Cahn equations and two Cahn–Hilliard equations with constant and variable mobilities. The equations are discretized using finite difference schemes, and discrete systems of the equations are solved using a nonlinear multigrid method. The generation and mo...
متن کاملFinite element approximation for the dynamics of fluidic two-phase biomembranes
Biomembranes and vesicles consisting of multiple phases can attain a multitude of shapes, undergoing complex shape transitions. We study a Cahn–Hilliard model on an evolving hypersurface coupled to Navier–Stokes equations on the surface and in the surrounding medium to model these phenomena. The evolution is driven by a curvature energy, modelling the elasticity of the membrane, and by a Cahn–H...
متن کاملde Cahn – Hilliard equations incorporating elasticity : analysis and comparison to experiments
Quenching a multi-component alloy produces a supersaturated metastable solid which under annealing nucleates small randomly dispersed precipitates. The precipitate morphology then evolves by diffusional mass transport as the multi-phase mixture tends to minimize its energy. During this postphase-transformation morphological evolution, the phase fractions of the matrix and precipitates remain co...
متن کاملCahn-hilliard Equations and Phase Transition Dynamics for Binary Systems
The process of phase separation of binary systems is described by the Cahn-Hilliard equation. The main objective of this article is to give a classification on the dynamic phase transitions for binary systems using either the classical Cahn-Hilliard equation or the Cahn-Hilliard equation coupled with entropy, leading to some interesting physical predictions. The analysis is based on dynamic tra...
