We show that a combination ofdiffuse-interface description and a constrained string method is able to predict boththe critical nucleus and equilibrium precipitate morphologies simultaneously without a priori assumptions. Using the cubic to cubic transformation as an example, it isdemonstrated that the maximum composition within a critical nucleus can be eitherhigher or lower than that of equilibrium precipitate while the morphology of an equilibrium precipitate may exhibit lower symmetry than the critical nucleus resulted fromelastic interactions.展开更多

The model consistS of a constant-tension, stretched string whose partial differential equation is derived by taking into account its exact configuration. Simplification via a Taylor series expansion of the curvature term and then employing the Galerkin method, an ordinary differential equation for the nonlinear dyamics is obtained. For the undamped case, we can formulate the Hamiltonian energy form of the conservative string, under the influence of an external periodic excitation. This permits the subharmonic resonant condition for this system to be derived. We truncate the resulting infinite number of subharmonic resonant waves to just two waves by renormalizing the Hamiltonian energy function near the subharmonic resonant orbit of the system. Adopting the renormalization group technique for the nit6raction of the two subharmonic resonant waves, an approximate chaotic condition associated with the subharmonic resonance of this system is determined. For the case fo the damped string, the minimum condition for the bifurcation of the subharmonic resonant wave is computed using the incremental energy balance method. For model verification, we carried out numerical simulations and they show good agreement with our analytical results.展开更多
