Analysis validation of a new continuum model for the evolution of grain boundaries in polycrystalline materials
Peicheng Zhu, Xiaoxue Qin, Yang Xiang
To describe the evolution of grain boundaries based on the underlying microscopic mechanisms of line defects (disconnections) and the integrated effects of a diverse range of therm…

A Convergent ADMM Algorithm for Grain Boundary Energy Minimization
Yue Wu, Luchan Zhang, Yang Xiang
In this paper, we study a constrained minimization problem that arise from materials science to determine the dislocation (line defect) structure of grain boundaries. The problems…
