We construct a simple two-phase equation of state intended to resemble that of compressed baryon-rich matter and then introduce a gradient term in the compressional energy density to take account of fintie-range effects in non-uniform…
A flow model is developed for dense shear-driven granular flow. As described in the geomechanics literature, a critical state condition is reached after sufficient shearing beyond an initial static packing. During further shearing at the…
We propose a two dimensional frame-invariant phase field model of grain impingement and coarsening. One dimensional analytical solutions for a stable grain boundary in a bicrystal are obtained, and equilibrium energies are computed. We are…
We introduce a general method to determine the large scale non-equilibrium steady-state properties of one-dimensional multi-species driven diffusive systems with open boundaries, generalizing thus the max-min current principle known for…
Molecular dynamics simulations are performed to investigate heterogeneous dynamics in amorphous glassy materials under oscillatory shear strain. We consider three-dimensional binary Lennard-Jones mixture well below the glass transition…
The statistical theory of flow stress, including yield strength, for polycrystalline materials under quasi-static plastic deformation suggested in [arxiv:1803.08247[cond-mat.mtr-sci], arxiv:1805.08623[cond-mat.mtr-sci]] is developed in the…
Silica nanoparticles trapped at air-water interface form a 2D solid state with amorphous order. We propose a theoretical model to describe how this solid-like state deforms under a shear strain ramp up to and beyond a yielding point which…
Microalloying elements tend to segregate to the matrix-precipitate phase boundaries to reduce the interfacial energy. The segregation mechanism is emerging as a novel design strategy for developing precipitation-hardened alloys with…
The phase-field crystal equation, a parabolic, sixth-order and nonlinear partial differential equation, has generated considerable interest as a possible solution to problems arising in molecular dynamics. This is because the phase-field…
Molecular dynamics simulations were used to quantify mechanically-induced structural evolution in nanocrystalline Al with an average grain size of 5 nm. A polycrystalline sample was cyclically strained at different temperatures, while a…
It is well known that the classical energetically consistent micropolar model has limits in simulating the frequency band structure of packed granular materials (see Merkel et al., 2011). It is here shown that if a standard continualization…
We investigate experimentally and theoretically thin layers of colloid particles held adjacent to a solid substrate by gravity. Epifluorescence, confocal, and holographic microscopy, combined with Monte Carlo and hydrodynamic simulations,…
The dynamical mechanisms underlying the grain evolution and growth are of fundamental importance in controlling the structural properties of large-scale polycrystalline materials, but the effects of lattice ordering and distinct atomic…
Accessing metastable structural states in high-entropy alloys offers a promising route to tailor material properties, yet the use of high pressure to engineer such states remains underexplored. Here, we report the pressure-driven synthesis…
The diffuse-interface model for two-phase flows with soluble surfactants has garnered considerable attention due to its ability to circumvent the need for Robin boundary condition in the bulk surfactant transport equation. However, the…
Most of the commercially important alloys are multicomponent, producing multiphase microstructures as a result of processing. When the coexisting phases are elastically coherent, the elastic interactions between these phases play a major…
Compared to pure fluids, binary mixtures display a very diverse phase behavior, which depends sensitively on the parameters of the microscopic potential. Here we investigate the phase diagrams of simple model mixtures by use of a…
Spatially correlated noise (SCN), i.e. the thermal noise that affects neighbouring particles in a similar manner, is ubiquitous in soft matter systems. In this work, we apply the over-damped SCN-driven Langevin equations as an effective,…
The near-rapid solidification conditions during additive manufacturing can lead to selection of non-equilibrium phases. Sharp interface models via interface response functions have been used earlier to explain the microstructure selection…
We review some recent coarse-graining and multi-scale methods, but also put forward some new ideas for addressing such issues. We find that, if one is guided by nonequilibrium statistical mechanics and thermodynamics, it is possible to…
