Strain manipulation of the magnetic domains, such as stripe domains and skyrmions, has attracted considerable attention because its potential applications for logic memory devices. Here, utilizing phase-field modeling, we demonstrate deterministic modulation orientation configuration skyrmions by using a uniaxial strain. The reorientation can be caused suitable strain, direction reorientated is...

Abstract When it comes to failure of a heterogeneous material, the adhesive interfaces linking different constituents can crucially influence its mechanical behavior. In this contribution, diffuse description in context phase‐field approach brittle fracture is outlined. Two‐ and three‐dimensional simulations crack phenomena are presented serve for validation model against LEFM.

Crack propagation during the indentation test of a ferroelectric single crystal is simulated using a phase-field model. This model is based on variational formulations of brittle crack propagation and domain evolution in ferroelectric materials. Due to the high compressive stresses near the indenter contact faces, a modified regularized formulation of the variational brittle fracture is coupled...
