Abstract

We propose a phase field model for stress and diffusion-induced interface motion. This model, in particular, can be used to describe diffusion-induced grain boundary motion and generalizes a model of Cahn, Fife and Penrose as it more accurately incorporates stress effects. In this paper we will demonstrate that the model can also be used to describe other stress-driven interface motion. As an example, interface motion resulting from interactions of interfaces with dislocations is studied.
