Phase-field modeling is an effective but computationally expensive method for capturing the mesoscale morphological and microstructure evolution in materials. Hence, fast and …
The phase-field method is a powerful and versatile computational approach for modeling the evolution of microstructures and associated properties for a wide variety of physical …

An analytic model of the evolution of dislocation density in fcc polycrystals is described. The evolution equations approximately account for most known dislocation storage, dynamic …
In this work, we investigate the operation of Frank-Read (FR) sources in a refractory multi- principal element alloy (MPEA). Simulations of discrete dislocation motion in MPEAs is …
Two-phase nanolaminates are known for their high strength, yet they suffer from loss of ductility. Here, we show that broadening heterophase interfaces into “3D interfaces” as thick …
Refractory multi-principal element alloys (RMPEAs) are promising materials for high- temperature structural applications. Here, we investigate the role of short-range ordering …
Grain boundaries (GBs) in polycrystalline materials act as impediments to dislocation motion and result in strengthening. Understanding slip transmission through GBs, specifically twin …
Voids of nanoscale dimensions in irradiated metals can act as obstacles to dislocation motion and cause strengthening. In this work, nanovoid strengthening and the influences of …
