A novel level-set finite element formulation for grain growth with heterogeneous grain boundary energies
Grain growth is a ubiquitous thermally activated mechanism by which the microstructures of crystalline materials coarsen at relatively high temperatures. Individual grain boundaries in a material microstructure have their own structure and their own behavior and, as such, uniform grain boundary ener...
