Abstract:
The 4th International Symposium on Phase-Field Modelling in Materials Science (PF 19), to be held at the Ruhr-Univerität Bochum / Germany, is intended to provide an excellent forum for the growing phase-field community. We aim to cover a broad field of theoretical modelling, numerical methods and applications related to phase-transitions, moving boundary problems, pattern formation and microstructure evolution in general. Also model integration into a multi-scale, multi-physics framework are of high interest. The covered topics include:
- Model development and analytics
- Numerical implementation and benchmark tests
- Microscopic / Mesoscopic phase-field models
- Phase-field crystal
- Solidification and diffusion controlled transformation
- Rapid solidification, mixed mode transformation and strong deviation from equilibrium
- Solid state and structural transformation
- Interaction of dislocations with precipitates and grain boundaries
- Large deformation and fracture
- Material architecture, topology design and microstructure optimization
- High performance computing and aspects of hierarchical model integration
We would like to discuss latest advancements and future directions for these approaches, hence contributions covering unpublished results or work in progress are particularly encouraged. We also highly appreciate contributions dealing with the experimental validation of models named above. We expect that a wide range of applications, from solidification to fracture, phase transformation and microstructure evolution in general, polycrystalline and multiphase materials, hybrid materials, functional, and biological materials will be covered.
