A continuum model of the two dimensional low angle grain boundary motion and the dislocation structure evolution on the grain boundaries has been developed in Ref. [48]. The model is based on the motion and reaction of the constituent…
Folding and aggregation of proteins, the interaction between proteins and membranes, as well as the adsorption of organic soft matter to inorganic solid substrates belong to the most interesting challenges in understanding structure and…
This study proposes a new full-field approach for modeling grain boundary pinning by second phase particles in two-dimensional polycrystals. These particles are of great importance during thermomechanical treatments, as they produce…
We present a simple mesoscale field theory inspired by rate-independent plasticity that reflects the symmetry of the deformation process. We parameterize the plastic deformation by a scalar field which evolves with loading. The evolution…

Many technologically useful materials are polycrystals composed of small monocrystalline grains that are separated by grain boundaries of crystallites with different lattice orientations. The energetics and connectivities of the grain…

In order to control the grain structure of multi-crystalline (mc) silicon during directional solidification, the development process of grain boundaries (GBs) with respect to the temperature gradient should be understood. A phase-field…
