Discussion of fracture paper #27 - Phase-field modelling of cracks and interfaces

Submitted by ESIS on

Landau and Ginzburg formulated a theory that includes the free energy of phases, with the purpose to derive coupled PDEs describing the dynamics of phase transformations. Their model with focus on the phase transition process itself also found many other applications, not the least because many exact solutions can be obtained. During the last few decades, with focus on the bulk material rather than the phase transition, the theory has been used as a convenient tool in numerical analyses to keep track of cracks and other moving boundaries.

Bioinspired hybrid materials from spray-formed ceramic templates, Dwivedi, Flynn, Resnick, Sampath, Gouldstone, Advanced Materials, 2015

Novelty/impact/significance:

Different from most research that explore exquisite fabrications, an industrial thermal spray-based technique is developed for making nacreous brick-and-mortar alumina composites, which allows for controlled architecture across length scales, diverse constituent materials, and easy scaling-up.
