Hydrogen absorbed into zirconium alloy nuclear fuel cladding as a result of the waterside
corrosion reaction can affect the properties of nuclear fuel, principally through the …

Radiation-enhanced precipitation of Cr-rich α′ in irradiated Fe-Cr alloys, which results in
hardening and embrittlement, depends on the irradiating particle and the displacement per …

Solid-state diffusional phase transformations are vital approaches for controlling of the
material microstructure and thus tailoring the properties of metals and alloys. To exploit this …

The phase-field method is used as a powerful and versatile computational method to
simulate the microstructural evolution taking place during solid-state phase transformations …

In this work, a kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) scheme is integrated into a phase field dislocation
dynamics (PFDD) model to account for thermal activation. While the implementation is …

We present our recent development of an integrated mesoscale digital twin (DT) framework
for relating processing conditions, microstructures, and mechanical responses of additively …

Additive manufacturing of metallic alloys involves non-uniform temperature distributions and
rapid thermal cycles that result in microstructures featured with anisotropy, which differ …

We present nucleation phase field model benchmark problems, expanding on our previous
benchmark problems on diffusion, precipitation, dendritic growth, linear elasticity, fluid flow …

Additive manufacturing is increasingly being employed to produce components of complex
geometries in structural alloys because of the expected energy savings associated with the …

We present phase field simulations incorporating contributions due to chemical free energy,
anisotropic interfacial energy, and elastic energy due to transformation strain, to …
