摘要
The complex interplay between chemistry,microstructure,and behavior of many engineering materials has been investigated predominantly by experimental methods.Parallel to the increase in computer power,advances in computational modeling methods have resulted in a level of sophistication which is comparable to that of experiments.At the continuum level,one class of such models is based on continuum thermodynamics,phase-field methods,and crystal plasticity,facilitating the account of multiple physical mechanisms (multi-physics) and their interaction during microstructure evolution.This paper reviews the status of simulation approaches and software packages in this field and gives an outlook towards promising research directions.
