In this study, we analysed numerically the behaviour of a liquid drop immersed into another immiscible liquid on a solid surface using a diffuse interface phase-field lattice Boltzmann method proposed by Mitchell et al. (Mitchell et al., 2018). The objective of the study is to assess the...

Amirian, Benhour, Jafarzadeh, Hossein, Abali, Bilen Emek, Reali, Alessandro, Hogan, James D.
A theoretical-computational framework is proposed for predicting the failure behavior of two anisotropic brittle materials, namely, single crystal magnesium and boron carbide. Constitutive equations are derived, in both small and large deformations, by using thermodynamics in order to establish a...
