Prenucleation refers to the phenomenon of atomic ordering in the liquid adjacent to a
liquid/solid interface at temperatures above its nucleation temperature. It produces a …

This book provides a unified treatment of continuum physics. A systematic approach to the
balance equations is elaborated for wide-ranging classes of materials (classical continua …

Ni 4 Ti 3 precipitates, which generally exist in aged Ni-rich NiTi shape memory alloys
(SMAs), can have a profound effect on material properties. However, the fundamental …

Introducing elastic energy in the phase field method has been shown to influence interfacial
energy, depending on the elastic interpolation scheme. This study investigates the impact of …

The nanoscale multiphase phase-field model for stress and temperature-induced
multivariant martensitic transformation under large strains developed by the authors in …

The solutions of multi-phase-field models exhibit boundary layer behavior not only along the
binary interfaces but also at the common contacts of three or more phases, ie, junctions …

The clad teeming process can reduce the production cost of stainless steel clad plates.
Nonetheless, many practical problems have not been resolved for industrialization. For the …

Abstract Al-Ni alloys (for Ni< 45 at.%) show a unique property in that, over at least part of the
accessible undercooling range, the recalescence velocity measured in electromagnetically …

We give an overview of contributions made to the computational phase-field modelling of
alloy solidification from the University of Leeds as part of the LiME project (EPSRC …

In this article, we study an initial-boundary value problem for a three-phase field model of
nonisothermal solidification processes in the case of two possible crystallization states. The …
