Accelerating grain boundary modelling and simulation by automated pre-evaluation of the irreducible macroscopic representation
Wei Wan
A major challenge in the modelling and simulation of grain boundaries (GBs) is the conflict between the system size and computation capability, which inherently restricts the compu…

Decomposition of general grain boundaries
Wei Wan, Junwen Deng, Changxin Tang
As a central part of microstructure evolution, grain boundary (GB) migration is believed to be both monolithic and unidirectional. But here, we introduce the concept of GB decompos…

Decomposition of low-angle grain boundaries
Wei Wan, Changxin Tang, Eric R Homer
Grain boundaries (GBs) merge and grains disappear during microstructure evolution. However, the Peach-Koehler model predicts that particular stress states may reverse such a proces…
