Over the last 4 decades, remarkable progress has been made in the modelling of casting
processes. The development of casting models is well reflected in the proceedings of the 15 …

The boundary integral method for propagating solid/liquid interfaces is detailed with
allowance for the thermo-solutal Stefan-type models. Two types of mass transfer …

Transport processes around phase interfaces, together with thermodynamic properties and
kinetic phenomena, control the formation of dendritic patterns. Using the thermodynamic and …

In a recent class of phase field crystal (PFC) models, the density order parameter is coupled
to powers of its mean field. This effectively introduces a phenomenology of higher-order …

The phase-field crystal (PFC) method is known as a relatively new continuum approach for
describing the microstructural dynamics of materials during structural and phase transitions …

The grain boundary (GB)-pore interaction is crucial to grain evolution and densification in
materials sintering. In this work, by using the phase-field crystal model, we performed atomic …

In this paper, the modified phase-field crystal (MPFC) model is employed to study the
evolution of Kirkendall voids in polycrystalline Au–Al bonds under mechanical loading. The …

The rapid solidification process is relevant to many emerging metallurgical technologies.
Compared with conventional solidification processes, high-density microstructure defects …

This thesis shows several theoretical improvements to the Phase Field Crystal (PFC) model.
Among the new additions made to the existing model, extra terms that allow PFC to describe …

In this paper, the evolution of Kirkendall voids under external mechanical loading in the
nano-polycrystalline Au-Al wire bond is studied at the atomic scale by modeling a …
