Numerical studies of the effects of anisotropic (misorientation-dependent) grain-boundary
energy and mobility on polycrystalline grain growth have been carried out for decades …

Power-law kinetics was obtained previously from grain growth simulations in isotropic,
single-phase materials using three-dimensional (3D) Monte Carlo (MC) Potts models but the …

A new cellular automaton (CA) model of abnormal grain growth (AGG) that considers
anisotropic grain boundary energies was developed in this paper. The anisotropic grain …

An analytical study of grain growth dynamics complemented with Vertex simulations is
presented in this work. This has been done by including the effect of the two main drag …

The evolution of fibre textured structures is simulated in two dimensions using a generalised
phase field model assuming two forms for the misorientation dependence of the grain …

A two-dimensional numerical model of microstructural effects is presented, with an aim to
understand the mechanical performance in polycrystalline materials. The microstructural …

A cellular automaton model has been developed to simulate the austenite nucleation and
growth of hypoeutectoid steel during heating process. In the model, the dissolution of …

The modeling of austenite grain growth of 25Cr2Ni4MoV steel for super-large nuclear-power
rotors was investigated during the common heating process including the continuous …

We apply phase-field simulations in two dimensions to study the thermal coarsening of grain
boundary (GB) networks with high fractions of twin and twin-variant boundaries, which for …

Through-silicon vias (TSVs) have become an important technology for three-dimensional
integrated circuit (3D IC) packaging. Protrusion of electroplated Cu-filled vias is a critical …
