In Part I of this work, we proposed a stochastic model describing solute interactions with stationary and moving grain boundaries (GBs) and applied it to planar GBs in 1D systems. The model reproduces nonlinear GB dynamics, solute…
A multi-phase field model is employed to study the microstructural evolution of an alloy undergoing liquid dealloying. The model proposed extends upon the original approach of Geslin et al. to consider dealloying in the presence of grain…
Understanding hydrogen-grain boundary (GB) interactions is critical to the analysis of hydrogen embrittlement in metals. This work presents a mesoscale fully kinetic model to investigate the effect of GB misorientation on hydrogen diffusion…
Previous studies demonstrate that grain-boundary sliding could accelerate creep rate and give rise to large internal stresses that can lead to damage development, e.g. formation of wedge cracks. The present study provides more insight into…
Solute segregation along grain boundaries (GBs) profoundly affects their thermodynamic and kinetic behaviors in polycrystalline materials. Recently, the spectral approach has emerged as a powerful tool to predict GB segregation. However,…
Graphene is well known for its extraordinary mechanical properties combining brittleness and ductility. While most mechanical studies of graphene focused on the strength and brittle fracture behavior, its ductility, plastic deformation, and…
The kinetics of dislocations is studied with computer simulation at loadings of different intensity. It is established that the dislocations have a few different structural states. The dislocations "with the micropore" play important role…
Precise control and in-depth understanding of the interfaces is crucial for the functionality-oriented material design with desired properties. Herein, via modifying the long-standing bicrystal strategy, we proposed a novel nanowelding…
The paper develops the stiffness relationship between the movements and forces among a system of discrete interacting grains. The approach is similar to that used in structural analysis, but the stiffness matrix of granular material is…
In this study, we address damage initiation and micro-crack formation in ductile failure of polycrystalline metals. We show how our recently published thermodynamic framework for ductile phase-field fracture of single crystals can be…
A systematic investigation is presented of grain boundaries and grain boundary networks in two dimensional flexible membranes with crystalline order. An isolated grain boundary undergoes a buckling transition at a critical value of the…
With the increasing availability of experimental and computational data concerning the properties and distribution of grain boundaries in polycrystalline materials, there is a corresponding need to efficiently and systematically express…
In this work, we investigate [110] symmetric tilt FCC grain boundaries (GBs) by a recently developed approach for quasiperiodic interfaces using the Landau-Brazovskii model. On special tilt angles associated with quadratic algebraic…
Deformation microstructure heterogeneities play a pivotal role during dislocation patterning and interface network restructuring. Thus, they affect indirectly how an alloy recrystallizes if at all. Given this relevance, it has become common…
Grain boundary (GB) segregation in magnesium (Mg) substantially influences its mechanical properties and performance. Atomic-scale modelling, typically using ab-initio or semi-empirical approaches, has mainly focused on GB segregation at…
Matrix stiffness expressions are derived for the particle movements in an assembly of rigid granules having compliant contacts. The derivations include stiffness terms that arise from the particle shapes at their contacts. These geometric…
Grain-boundary grooving is a general phenomenon occurring in all polycrystalline materials at the intersection between the grain-boundary and the interface or free surface. It has been studied theoretically for some time. Grain-boundary…
This study proposes algorithms for building tilt grain boundary (GB) models with a boundary plane-oriented approach that does not rely on existence of a coincidence site lattice (CSL). As conventional GB model generation uses the CSL of…
Grain boundaries with dangling bonds (DBGB) in graphene are studied by atomistic Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations in combination with density functional (SIESTA) calculations. The most stable configurations are selected and…
The study of granular crystals, metamaterials that consist of closely packed arrays of particles that interact elastically, is a vibrant area of research that combines ideas from disciplines such as materials science, nonlinear dynamics,…
