| Abstract Scope |
The challenges in developing a robust macroscopic model of grain boundaries that describes the majority of processes of interest to the materials processor are substantial. In this work I will describe the ongoing efforts to synthesize several different efforts in grain boundary modeling with classical models developed by Larche and Cahn into a coherent picture. It is hoped that such models will provide substantial insights into the mechanical properties of materials, and,in particular, insights into vacancy diffusion mediated creep (either in the bulk or grain boundaries) of materials with residual stress.The back-coupling of these phenomena to grain boundary wetting should also prove interesting. |
