  10. Here is the analytical results for the melting temperature. Using the first integral of the system, we obtain the constant quantity that gives equilibrium. Here, f is the free energy including the temperature effect, fel is the elastic energy density, this is the gradient energy, and the last term is the work term due to applied stress, where tau0 is the applied stress, U’ is the strain ezz. Using analytic solution for the elastic equilibrium, we obtain this expression for the melting temperature shift due to the presence of applied stress or applied strain. Note that the shift depends only on the jump of the quantities, and does not depend on the interfacial thickness. Analytical Results: Melting Temperature • First integral • We thus obtain, • where [[ ]] denotes the jump across the interface

  11. For numerical simulation, we take a physical parameter for Aluminum eutectic (or an estimate for it. The equations are non-dimensionalized using the latent heat per unit volume and the system size. We now focus on the case with applied stress only, that is tau0 is non zero, and msifit and applied strain is zero. Then the expression for the melting temperautre change becomes this. The change is proportional to the applied stress^2. Numerical Simulation: Melting Temperature • “Physical” parameters for Aluminum eutectic is used • Variables are non-dimensionalized using the latent heat per unit volume and the system length • Here, we focus on applied stress with no misfit:

  12. Simulation and analytics agree • Indeed the simulation results agree with the analytical results.

  13. Analytical Results: Surface Energy • Surface energy is associated with the surface excess of thermodynamic potential [Johnson (2000)] • “Gibbs adsorption equation” can be derived [Cahn (1979)]:

  14. Numerical and analytical results agree • Here, I plot dgama dtau0 agaist tau0. The numerical solution agrees with the analytical solution for dgamma dtau0.
