Mesoscale Simulation of Grain Boundary Diffusion Creep in the Presence of Grain Growth

Grain-boundary (GB) diffusion creep (Coble creep) is the dominant deformation mechanism for the fine-grained materials under low stress and at elevated temperature. During creep deformation the grains become elongated in the tensile direction because of atoms diffusion along GBs from places in compr...
