Conventional phase-field models often drive solid-solid interfaces to coalesce when in close proximity. This feature limits their use for processes like diffusion bonding, where the interfaces might need to remain distinct under certain…
Recent experiments and computer simulations show that supercooled liquids around the glass transition temperature are "dynamically heterogeneous" [1]. Such heterogeneity is expected from the random first order transition theory of the glass…

Fully resolving dynamics of materials with rapidly-varying features involves expensive fine-scale computations which need to be conducted on macroscopic scales. The theory of homogenization provides an approach to derive effective…
We consider a composite piezoelectric material whose reference configuration is a thin shell with fixed thickness. In this work, we give a new approach based on the periodic unfolding method to justify the modelling of a thin piezoelectric…
We revisit the Swift-Hohenberg model for two-dimensional hexagonal patterns in the bistability region where hexagons coexist with the uniform quiescent state. We both analyze the law of motion of planar interfaces (separating hexagons and…

A microscopic heterogeneous system under random influence is considered. The randomness enters the system at physical boundary of small scale obstacles as well as at the interior of the physical medium. This system is modeled by a…
