Phase-Field Modeling of Fracture under Compression and Confinement in Anisotropic Geomaterials
Maryam Hakimzadeh, Carlos Mora-Corral, Noel Walkington +2
Strongly anisotropic geomaterials undergo fracture under compressive loading. This paper applies a phase-field fracture model to study this fracture process. While phase-field frac…
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…
Interplay between Nucleation and Kinetics in Dynamic Twinning
Janel Chua, Vaibhav Agrawal, Noel Walkington +2
In this work, we apply a phase-field modeling framework to elucidate the interplay between nucleation and kinetics in the dynamic evolution of twinning interfaces. The key feature…
Nonuniqueness in Defining the Polarization: Nonlocal Surface Charges and the Electrostatic, Energetic, and Transport Perspectives
Shoham Sen, Yang Wang, Timothy Breitzman +1
Ionic crystals play a central role in functional applications. Mesoscale descriptions of these crystals are based on the continuum polarization density field to represent the effec…
Statistical Field Theory of Polarizable Polymer Chains with Nonlocal Dipolar Interactions
Pratik Khandagale, Carlos Garcia-Cervera, Gal deBotton +3
The electromechanical response of polymeric soft matter to applied electric fields is of fundamental scientific interest as well as relevant to technologies for sensing and actuati…
