A perceptive comparison of two numerical methods that are commonly used in explicit
modeling of microstructure evolution under thermo-mechanical conditions is the subject of …

By means of extensive Monte Carlo Potts model simulations it is shown that three-
dimensional normal grain growth can adequately be described by an average scaled growth …

The mechanical properties of metallic materials are highly dependent on the average and
distribution of the grain size. Therefore, it is important to accurately understand grain growth …

We investigated the correlation of thermodynamics and grain growth kinetics of
nanocrystalline metals both theoretically and experimentally. A model was developed to …

The purpose of this work is to develop a mechanistic model of grain growth in UO 2 fuel
during reactor operation. The model development builds on published experimental data on …

Monte Carlo and cellular automata simulations of grain boundary motion generally suffer
from insufficient units of measure. This complicates the comparison of simulations with …

A phase-field model was used to investigate the simultaneous effects of grain boundary
energy anisotropy and the presence of second-phase particles on grain growth in …

Abstract The Monte Carlo model is one of the most frequently used approaches to simulate
grain growth, and retains a number of features that derive from the closely related Ising and …

We address a three-dimensional, coarse-grained description of dislocation networks at grain
boundaries between rotated crystals. The so-called amplitude expansion of the phase-field …

Stress-assisted grain boundary motion is among the most studied modes of microstructural
evolution in crystalline materials. In this study, molecular dynamics simulations were used to …
