Impact of grain boundary energy anisotropy on grain growth
S. Kiana Naghibzadeh, Zipeng Xu, David Kinderlehrer +3
A threshold dynamics model of grain growth that accounts for the anisotropy in the grain boundary energy has been used to simulate experimentally observed grain growth of polycryst…
Comparison of simulated and measured grain volume changes during grain growth
Xiaoyao Peng, Aditi Bhattacharya, S. Kiana Naghibzadeh +4
The three-dimensional microstructure of Ni, observed after five annealing intervals, was compared to simulations of grain growth using the threshold dynamics method with the assump…
Statistical mechanics of a dielectric polymer chain in the force ensemble
Matthew Grasinger, Kaushik Dayal, Gal deBotton +1
Constitutive modeling of dielectric elastomers has been of long standing interest in mechanics. Over the last two decades rigorous constitutive models have been developed that coup…
Surface Growth in Deformable Solids using an Eulerian Formulation
Kiana Naghibzadeh, Noel Walkington, Kaushik Dayal
Growth occurs in a wide range of systems ranging from biological tissue to additive manufacturing. This work considers surface growth, in which mass is added to the boundary of a c…
Nonlinear Statistical Mechanics Drives Intrinsic Electrostriction and Volumetric Torque in Polymer Networks
Matthew Grasinger, Carmel Majidi, Kaushik Dayal
Statistical mechanics is an important tool for understanding polymer electroelasticity because the elasticity of polymers is primarily due to entropy. However, a common approach fo…
The interplay between symmetry-breaking and symmetry-preserving bifurcations in soft dielectric films and the emergence of giant electro-actuation
Lingling Chen, Yu Yang, Binglei Wang +3
Soft elastomers that can exhibit extremely large deformations under the action of an electric field are essential for applications such as soft robotics, stretchable and flexible e…
