A generalized Cahn–Hilliard equation incorporating geometrically linear elasticity
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a generalisation of the Cahn–Hilliard equation that incorporates an elastic energy density which, being quasiconvex, incorporates microstructure formation on smaller length scales. We prove global existence of weak solutions in certain microstructural regimes in (one and) two dimensions and present sufficient conditions for uniqueness. Preliminary numerical computations to illustrate some characteristic properties of the solutions are presented and compared to earlier Cahn–Hilliard models with elasticity.

The Cahn-hilliard Equation with Elasticity — Finite Element Approximation and Qualitative Studies
We consider the Cahn–Hilliard equation — a fourth–order, nonlinear parabolic diffusion equation describing phase separation of a binary alloy which is quenched below a critical temperature. The occurrence of two phases is due to a nonconvex double well free energy. The evolution initially leads to a very fine microstructure of regions with different phases which tend to become coarser at later ...

We consider a generalization of the Cahn-Hilliard equation that incorporates an elastic energy density which, being quasi-convex, incorporates micro-structure formation on smaller length scales. We explore the global existence of weak solutions in two and three dimensions. We compare theoretical predictions with experimental observations of coarsening in superalloys.

Abstract: The paper concerns the existence of weak solutions to the Cahn-Hilliard-Gurtin system coupled with nonstationary elasticity. The system describes phase separation process in elastically stressed material. It generalizes the Cahn-Hilliard equation by admitting a more general structure and by coupling diffusive and elastic effects. The system is studied with the help of a singularly per...
