Kinetics of phase boundaries with edges and junctions in a three-dimensional multi-phase body

Abstract

The propagation of phase boundaries that intersect other phase boundaries at junctions and physical boundaries at edges in a three-dimensional multi-phase body is examined. The driving forces that govern the propagation of these phase boundaries, edges and junctions are calculated, and kinetic relations consistent with the second law of thermodynamics are proposed. This work extends the two-dimensional situation discussed previously (Simha, N.K., Bhattacharya, K., 1998. J. Mech. Phys. Solids, 46, 2323–2359).
