This work reviews state of the art representative volume element (RVE) generation
techniques for heterogeneous materials. To this end, we present a systematic classification …

Abstract Lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries, as one of the most promising “post‐Li‐ion” energy
storage devices, encounter several intrinsic challenges: polysulfide dissolution and shuttle …

The aimed properties of the interpolation functions used in quantitative phase-field models
for two-phase systems do not extend to multi-phase systems. Therefore, a new type of …

Review of selected fundamental topics on the interaction between phase transformations,
fracture, and other structural changes in inelastic materials is presented. It mostly focuses on …

Advances in the orientation-field-based phase-field (PF) models made in the past are
reviewed. The models applied incorporate homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation of …

The role of inclination dependence of grain boundary energy on the microstructure evolution
and the orientation distribution of grain boundary planes during grain growth in …

The formation of void damage and spalling failure in ductile metallic materials under strong
impact is a well-established phenomenon. In aerospace and defense technology …

In this paper, we present the results of grain growth simulations in three-dimensions using
an existing level set method. Most of the previous grain growth studies have been either …

The paper describes a level set framework for the finite-element modelling of
recrystallization in polycrystalline materials, including the nucleation, primary …

Three-dimensional grain growth behaviors under anisotropic (misorientation-dependent)
grain boundary energy and mobility are investigated via phase-field simulations. Based on a …
