• Freeze-casting phase-field model including particle size effects is presented. Simulations for various sizes and solidification conditions are conducted. Scaling laws microstructural lengths derived based on simulations. The freeze casting process a novel manufacturing method both near net-shape parts as well directed porous structures employed by filters implants. Depending the choice of liq...

In the recent days, for traction and electric vehicle (EV) applications, multiphase machines with pole phase modulation (PPM) technique have been proposed. The smoother operation during changeovers as well steady-state operations is a significant constraint while adopting PPM-based induction motor (PPMIM) drives EV applications. So, in this paper, PPMIM dynamic model associated vector control a...

Fatigue crack growth is decisive for the design of thin-walled structures such as fuselage shells air planes. The cold rolling process, used to produce aluminium sheets this structure made of, leads anisotropic mechanical properties. In contribution, we simulate fatigue with a phase-field model due its superior ability arbitrary paths. A variable based on Local Strain Approach describes progres...

During the planning phase of modern, complex, block-structured, large-area located, but still landscape-harmonized health-care buildings, the key is the optimal positioning of the blocks and functions, simultaneously ensuring the most-effective backup-paths for any transportation route failure in the buildings in order to speed up system operation, reduce maintenance costs and especially to imp...

We study phase field equations in perforated domains for arbitrary free energies. These equations have found numerous applications in a wide spectrum of both science and engineering problems with homogeneous environments. Here, we focus on strongly heterogeneous materials with perforations such as porous media. To the best of our knowledge, we provide the first derivation of upscaled equations ...

The aim of the article is to deliver an information on the state of the art in the field of modelling of microstructure growth in a solidifying pure substance with a stress on the phase-field approach. We briefly summarize the physical background of the problem. The phase-field method is then explained and its variants are mentioned. Justification and theoretical results concerning the model eq...
