Phase-field models in materials science
نویسنده
چکیده
The phase-field method is reviewed against its historical and theoretical background. Starting from Van der Waals considerations on the structure of interfaces in materials the concept of the phase-field method is developed along historical lines. Basic relations are summarized in a comprehensive way. Special emphasis is given to the multi-phase-field method with extension to elastic interactions and fluid flow which allows one to treat multi-grain multi-phase structures in multicomponent materials. Examples are collected demonstrating the applicability of the different variants of the phase-field method in different fields of materials science.

متن کاملOn the stable discretization of strongly anisotropic phase field models with applications to crystal growth
We introduce unconditionally stable finite element approximations for anisotropic Allen– Cahn and Cahn–Hilliard equations. These equations frequently feature in phase field models that appear in materials science. On introducing the novel fully practical finite element approximations we prove their stability and demonstrate their applicability with some numerical results. We dedicate this artic...
متن کاملDescription of hard-sphere crystals and crystal-fluid interfaces: a comparison between density functional approaches and a phase-field crystal model.
In materials science the phase-field crystal approach has become popular to model crystallization processes. Phase-field crystal models are in essence Landau-Ginzburg-type models, which should be derivable from the underlying microscopic description of the system in question. We present a study on classical density functional theory in three stages of approximation leading to a specific phase-f...
متن کاملThermoelastic response of microbeams under a magnetic field rested on two-parameter viscoelastic foundation
Mechanical foundations and pavements design need a perfect prediction of the response of the material to reach a reliable and safe structure. This work deals with the thermoelastic response of microbeams rested on a two-parameter viscoelastic foundation due to a magnetic field in the context of the dual - phase lag thermoelasticity model. The solutions of the governing equations are attained us...
متن کاملPhase-field modeling of microstructure evolutions in magnetic materials.
Recently, the phase-field method has been extended and utilized across many fields of materials science. Since this method can incorporate, systematically, the effect of the coherency induced by lattice mismatch and the applied stress as well as the external electrical and magnetic fields, it has been applied to many material processes including solidification, solid-state phase transformations...
