Unified Framework for Dislocation-Based Defect Energetics
J. M. Rickman, J. Vinals, R. LeSar
We present a unified framework for the calculation of defect energies for those defects that can be represented as a superposition of isolated dislocations, and obtain both self an…
Motion of a transverse/parallel grain boundary in a block copolymer under oscillatory shear flow
Francois Drolet, Jorge Vinals
A mesoscopic model of a diblock copolymer is used to study the motion of a grain boundary separating two regions of perfectly ordered lamellar structures under an oscillatory but u…
Linear bubble model of abnormal grain growth
W. W. Mullins, Jorge Vinals
A linear bubble model of grain growth is introduced to study the conditions under which an isolated grain can grow to a size much larger than the surrounding matrix average (abnorm…
Narrow band noise as a model of time-dependent accelerations: study of the stability of a fluid surface in a microgravity environment
Jaume Casademunt, Wenbin Zhang, Jorge Vinals +1
We introduce a stochastic model to analyze in quantitative detail the effect of the high frequency components of the residual accelerations onboard spacecraft (often called g-jitte…
