Implementation of Exact Grain-boundary Geometry into a 3d Monte-carlo (potts) Model for Microstructure Evolution (preprint)
نویسندگان
چکیده
A three-dimensional Monte-Carlo (Potts) model was modified to incorporate the effect of grain-boundary inclination on boundary mobility. For this purpose, a straightforward geometric construction was developed to determine the local orientation of the grain-boundary plane. The combined effects of grain-boundary plane and misorientation on the effective grain-boundary mobility were incorporated into the Monte-Carlo code using the definition of the tilt-twist component (TTC). The modified code was validated by simulating grain growth in microstructures comprising equiaxed or elongated grains as well as the static recrystallization of a microstructure of deformed (elongated) grains.

On abnormal subgrain growth and the origin of recrystallization nuclei
Abnormal subgrain growth has been proposed as the nucleation mechanism for recrystallization. To test this hypothesis, Monte Carlo Potts model simulations of subgrain growth were performed on single-phase, strain-free subgrain structures with experimentally validated microstructure, texture, boundary character, and boundary properties. Results indicate that abnormal growth events emerge spontan...
متن کاملCoupled Simulations of Mechanical Deformation and Microstructural Evolution Using Polycrystal Plasticity and Monte Carlo Potts Models
The microstructural evolution of heavily deformed polycrystalline Cu is simulated by coupling a constitutive model for polycrystal plasticity with the Monte Carlo Potts model for grain growth. The effects of deformation on boundary topology and grain growth kinetics are presented. Heavy deformation leads to dramatic strain-induced boundary migration and subsequent grain fra,omentation. Grain gr...

We introduce a novel wavelet-based compound matrix to bridge models (LennardJones model simulated with molecular dynamics and a lattice Q-states Potts model with a Monte Carlo simulation) that describe grain growth over different ranges of spatial and time scales. The compound wavelet matrix provides full statistical information on the microstructure at the range of scales that is the union of ...

A two-dimensional numerical model of microstructural e ects in brittle fracture is presented, with an aim towards the understanding of toughening mechanisms in polycrystalline materials such as ceramics. Quasi-static crack propagation is modelled using the extended nite element method (X-FEM) and microstructures are simulated within the framework of the Potts model for grain growth. In the X-FE...

Understanding the microstructural evolution in metallic alloys helps to control their properties and improve their performance in industrial applications. The emphasis of our study is the coarsening mechanisms of lamellar structures. Coarsening of lamellar structure is modeled numerically using Monte Carlo Potts method. The initial microstructure consists of alternating lamellae of phase A and ...
