Grain Boundary Evolution: New Perspectives Maria Emelianenko Dmitry Golovaty David Kinderlehrer Shlomo Ta'asan Abstract: In this paper, we study mesoscopic behavior of a grain boundary and investigate the possibility of modeling texture evolution. One of the most challenging aspects of this problem is to understand the role of topological reconfigurations during coarsening. To this end, we investigate grain boundary evolutionin a one-dimensional system designed specifically to target critical event evolution in microstructure. We suggest stochastic frameworks that may be used to model this system. We compare the predictions of the models with simulations and discuss their limitations and possible extensions to higher-dimensional cases. Get the paper in its entirety as |
