Implementation of Anisotropic Grain Boundary Properties in Mesoscopic Simulations

The anisotropic properties of grain boundaries influence many aspects of materials properties as well as their processing. The drive toward developing comprehensive simulation tools engenders a need to incorporate such anisotropy in models for processes such as grain growth, sintering, and recrystal...

Summary:The anisotropic properties of grain boundaries influence many aspects of materials properties as well as their processing. The drive toward developing comprehensive simulation tools engenders a need to incorporate such anisotropy in models for processes such as grain growth, sintering, and recrystallization. This chapter reviews the current state of methods for including anisotropic energy and mobility in models such as the Potts, cellular automata, phase field, moving finite element, and vertex models.
