A rigorous reformulation of internal entropy production and the rate of entropy flow is developed for multi-component systems consisting of heterophases, interfaces and/or surfaces. The result is a well-posed moving boundary value problem describing the dynamics of curved interfaces and surfaces associated with voids and/or cracks that are intersected by grain boundaries. Extensive computer simulations are performed for void configuration evolution during intergranular motion. In particular we simulate evolution resulting from the action of capillary and electromigration forces in thin film metallic interconnects having a "bamboo" structure, characterized by grain boundaries aligned perpendicular to the free surface of the metallic film interconnects. Analysis of experimental data utilizing previously derived mean time to failure formulas gives consistent values for interface diffusion coefficients and enthalpies of voids. 3.0 x 10(-6) exp(-0.62 eV/kT) m(2) s(-1) is the value obtained for voids that form in the interior of the aluminum interconnects without surface contamination. 6.5 x 10(-6) exp(-0.84 eV/kT) m(2) s(-1) is obtained for those voids that nucleate either at triple junctions or at the grain boundary-technical surface intersections, where the chemical impurities may act as trap centers for hopping vacancies.

Coupled thermoviscoplasticity of glassy polymers in the logarithmic strain space based on the free volume theory
Miehe, Christian; Mendez Diez, Joel; Göktepe, Serdar; Schaenzel, Lisa Marie (Elsevier BV, 2011-06-15)
The paper outlines a constitutive model for finite thermo-visco-plastic behavior of amorphous glassy polymers and considers details of its numerical implementation. In contrast to existing kinematical approaches to finite plasticity of glassy polymers, the formulation applies a plastic metric theory based on an additive split of Lagrangian Hencky-type strains into elastic and plastic parts. The analogy between the proposed formulation in the logarithmic strain space and the geometrically linear theory of pl...
EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS AND TRANSIENT SIMULATION OF HEAT TRANSFER INSIDE THE FINNED TUBE ADSORBENT BED OF A THERMAL WAVE CYCLE
ÇAĞLAR, AHMET; Yamali, Cemil (Begell House, 2019-01-01)
Heat transfer enhancement inside the adsorbent bed of a thermal wave adsorption cooling cycle is investigated both experimentally and theoretically. Various adsorbent materials are tested using a finned tube adsorbent bed for the thermal wave cycle. The mathematical model is well defined, including a 2-D coupled heat and mass transfer analysis. This study presents the effects of heat transfer fluid velocity, regeneration temperature, condenser pressure, and particle diameter on the heat transfer enhancement...
Simulation of dissolution of silicon in an indium solution by spectral methods
Coskun, AU; Yener, Y; Arinc, F (IOP Publishing, 2002-09-01)
The results of a numerical simulation of natural convection due to concentration gradients during dissolution of silicon in an indium solution in a horizontal substrate-solution-substrate system are presented. The Chebyshev-Tau spectral method has been used for the simulations. The results are in very good agreement with the experimental data available in the literature. It is concluded that the discrepancies in the dissolution depths between the previous simulations and experimental data, especially at the...
An endochronic plasticity formulation for filled rubber
NETZKER, Christiane; Dal, Hüsnü; KALISKE, Michael (Elsevier BV, 2010-09-01)
The nature of elastomeric material demands the consideration of finite deformations, nonlinear elasticity including damage as well as rate-dependent and rate-independent dissipative properties. While many models accounting for these effects have been refined over time to do better justice to the real behavior of rubber-like materials, the realistic simulation of the elastoplastic characteristics for filled rubber remains challenging.
Modelling and Monte Carlo simulation of the atomic ordering processes in Ni3Al intermetallics
Mehrabov, Amdulla; Akdeniz, Mahmut Vedat (IOP Publishing, 2007-03-01)
The evolution of atomic ordering processes in Ni3Al has been modelled by a Monte Carlo ( MC) simulation method combined with the electronic theory of alloys in pseudopotential approximation. The magnitudes of atomic ordering energies of atomic pairs in the Ni3Al system have been calculated by means of electronic theory in pseudopotential approximation up to the 4th coordination spheres and subsequently used as input data for MC simulation for more detailed analysis for the first time. The Bragg - Williams l...
