Due to recent successes of a statistical-based nonlocal continuum crystal plasticity theory for single-glide in explaining various aspects such as dislocation patterning and size-dependent plasticity, several attempts have been made to…
Volume-filling cross-diffusion equations for the components of a tissue structure are formally derived from mass conservation laws and force balances for the interphase pressures and viscous drag forces in a multiphase approach. The…
In this paper, density functional theory calculations are used to explore the electronic and atomic reconstruction at interfaces between III-III/I-V oxides. In particular, at these interfaces, two dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) with…
We wish to understand the macroscopic plastic behaviour of metals by upscaling the micro-mechanics of dislocations. We consider a highly simplified dislocation network, which allows our microscopic model to be a one dimensional particle…
The paper describes the first exact results in optimal design of three-phase elastic structures. Two isotropic materials, the "strong" and the "weak" one, are laid out with void in a given two-dimensional domain so that the compliance plus…
Vacancy swelling of quasicrystals under irradiation is considered. In quasicrystals, the evolution of dislocations is accompanied by the formation of phasons which are localized topological defects of the vacancy and interstitial types. At…
We study the effect of a uniform shear flow on an interface separating the two broken-symmetry ordered phases of a two-dimensional system with nonconserved scalar order parameter. The interface, initially flat and perpendicular to the flow,…
This chapter reviews the different methodological aspects of the ab ini-tio modeling of dislocations. Such simulations are now frequently used to study the dislocation core, i.e. the region in the immediate vicinity of the line defect where…
We formulate an effective medium (mean field) theory of a material consisting of randomly distributed nodes connected by straight slender rods, hinged at the nodes. Defining novel wavelength-dependent effective elastic moduli, we calculate…
Density functional theory calculations have been performed to study the structures and energetics of coherent and semicoherent TiC/Fe interfaces. A systematic method for determining the interfacial energy for the semicoherent interface with…
We consider phase separation on the strip for the two-dimensional Ising model in the near-critical region. Within the framework of field theory, we find exact analytic results for certain two- and three-point correlation functions of the…
The rapid development of modern energy applications drives an urgent need to enhance the dielectric strength of energy storage dielectrics for higher power density. Interface design is a promising strategy to regulate the crucial charge…
The upscaling of a system of screw dislocations in a material subject to an external strain is studied. The $\Gamma$-limit of a suitable rescaling of the renormalized energy is characterized in the space of probability measures. This…
A polycrystalline solid is modelled as an ensemble of random irregular polyhedra filling the entire space occupied by the solid body, leaving no voids or flaws between them. Adjacent grains can slide with a relative velocity proportional to…
A two dimensional amorphous material is modeled as an assembly of mesoscopic elemental pieces coupled together to form an elastically coherent structure. Plasticity is introduced as the existence of different minima in the energy landscape…
The viscous drag on a slender rod by a wall is important to many biological and industrial systems. This drag critically depends on the separation between the rod and the wall and can be approximated asymptotically in specific regimes,…
We study three-dimensional deformations of thin inextensible elastic rods with non-vanishing spontaneous curvature and torsion. In addition to the usual description in terms of curvature and torsion which considers only the configuration of…
In this paper an asymptotic homogenization method for the analysis of composite materials with periodic microstructure in presence of thermodiffusion is described. Appropriate down-scaling relations correlating the microscopic fields to the…
Elasticity theory provides an accurate description of the long-wavelength vibrational dynamics of homogeneous crystalline solids, and with supplemental boundary conditions on the displacement field can also be applied to abrupt…
We precisely and rigorously characterise the decay of elastic fields generated by dislocations in crystalline materials, focusing specifically on the role of multilattices. Concretely, we establish that the elastic field generated by a…
