Additive manufacturing (AM) processes have proven to be a perfect match for topology
optimization (TO), as they are able to realize sophisticated geometries in a unique layer-by …

The status of solidification science is critically evaluated and future directions of research in
this technologically important area are proposed. The most important advances in …

This comprehensive and self-contained, one-stop source discusses phase-field
methodology in a fundamental way, explaining advanced numerical techniques for solving …

This is the first account of the history of our understanding of, and ability to model,
solidification microstructures. Its objective is to retrace the scientific steps made, from the …

This book gives a systematic overview on the scientific fundamentals of crystal growth from
the classical phenomenological description to the recent theoretical contributions of …

Most research into microstructure formation during solidification has focused on single-
crystal growth ranging from faceted crystals to symmetric dendrites. However, these growth …

Many inhomogeneous systems involve domains of well-de? ned phases se-rated by a
distinct interface. If they are driven out of equilibrium one phase will grow at the cost of the …

In 1991, the late Peter Haasen, who had set out to edit a comprehensive treatment of
“Materials Science and Technology” together with Robert W. Cahn and Edward J. Kramer, a …

Combined effects of the cooling rate, alloy composition, and crystal-melt (CM) interfacial
anisotropy on solidification of Al-Cu alloys are studied by integrating molecular dynamics …

We present the results of a comprehensive phase-field study of columnar grain growth
competition in bi-crystalline samples in two dimensions (2D) and in three dimensions (3D) …
