Phase‐field‐based modeling and simulation of solidification and deformation behavior of technological alloys

The purpose of this work is the formulation and application of a continuum field approach to the phenomenological modeling of the behavior of technological alloys undergoing phase transitions and attendant inelastic deformation. To describe the phase transition, a phase–field approach is utilized. For the fully coupled system, an algorithmic formulation is derived based on efficient finite element techniques. Applications will be discussed. (© 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
