For over three decades, the front-capturing level-set method has demonstrated its prowess
for the simulation, at the mesoscopic scale, of numerous mechanisms in the context of …

Engineering microstructural defects, like grain boundaries, offers superior control over
transport properties in energy materials. However, technological advancement requires …

The generalized driving force and local shear resistance are introduced to reveal the
intrinsic mechanism of failure diffusion in brittle materials subjected to low-speed impact …

High energy x-ray diffraction microscopy was used to image the microstructure of α-Fe
before and after a 600° C anneal. These data were used to determine the areas, curvatures …

Classical theories of grain growth assume that grain boundary curvature and velocity are
linearly correlated. However, recent experimental observations seem to imply that the …

A threshold dynamics model of grain growth that accounts for the anisotropy in the grain
boundary energy has been used to simulate experimentally observed grain growth of …

In the integrated circuit industry, heat is transferred through the contact between wafers and
the chemical vapor deposited (CVD) 3C–SiC wafer susceptor. Understanding the out-plane …

In this work, we systematically evaluated the effect of Si on the dynamic recrystallization
(DRX) during hot deformation behavior of a novel high-strength rolled Medium Mn steel. To …

A fractional approach based on the generalized Taylor's formula is proposed to describe the
dynamic responses in the meso-discontinuous medium (eg, oyster shell). The governing …

The role of anisotropic grain boundary energy in grain growth is investigated using textured
microstructures that contain a high proportion of special grain boundaries. Textured and …
