Microstructure is a feature of crystals with multiple symmetry-related energy-minimizing states. Continuum models have been developed explaining mi-crostructure as the mixture of these symmetry-related states on a fine scale to minimize energy. This article is a review of numerical methods and the numerical analysis for the computation of crystalline microstructure.

The effect of the initial microstructure and intercritical annealing on mechanical properties and work-hardening response of a high-formability low carbon steel were studied. The work-hardening analysis was based on the modified Crussard–Jaoul method. The ferritic-pearlitic sheets showed low strength and high total elongation with the appearance of the yield point phenomenon. The occurrence of ...

Composites containing Ce-Zr02, Al,O,, and aligned A1202 platelets were produced by centrifugal consolidation and pressureless sintering, followed by beat treatments at 1600°C for varied duration. Constituents in the consolidated microstructures were either uniformly distributed throughout or segregated into gradient layers, depending critically on platelet content. Quantitative image analysis w...

We consider nonlinear bound states of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation i∂zφ(z, x) = −∂2 xφ− (1 + m(Nx))|φ|p−1φ, in the presence of a nonlinear periodic microstructure m(Nx). This equation models the propagation of laser beams in a medium whose nonlinear refractive index is modulated in the transverse direction, and can also arise in the study of BoseEinstein Condensation (BEC). In the nonline...

Thin Ni0.5 Zn0.5 Fe2 O4 ferrite films were grown on different condition on different substrates using pulsed laser deposition technique. Studying the influence of the energy of the laser beam, of the O2 pressure, of the substrate temperature, and of the distance between the target and the substrate on the microstructure and on the magnetic properties were established optimal conditions for PLD ...
