I Steinbach, F Pezzolla, B Nestler, M Seeßelberg… - Physica D: Nonlinear …, 1996 - Elsevier
The phase field theory describing the evolution of a dual phase boundary is extended to
multiphase problems: Each phase is identified with an individual phase field and the …

Phase-field relaxation of topology optimization with local stress constraints

M Burger, R Stainko - SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, 2006 - SIAM
We introduce a new relaxation scheme for structural topology optimization problems with
local stress constraints based on a phase-field method. In the basic formulation we have a …

The continuum field approach to modeling microstructural evolution

LQ Chen, Y Wang - Jom, 1996 - Springer
The majority of advanced engineering materials contain multiphase and/or multidomain
