On a modified Becker–Döring model for two-phase materials

Abstract

This work reconsiders the Becker-Döring model for nucleation under isothermal conditions in the presence of phase transitions. Based on thermodynamic principles a modified model is derived where the condensation and evaporation rates may depend on the phase parameter. The existence and uniqueness of weak solutions to the proposed model are shown and the corresponding equilibrium states are characterized in terms of response functions and constitutive variables.

Recycled HDPE reinforced Al2O3 and SiC three dimensional printed patterns for sandwich composite material

“…These SCM can be used as two phase material [36], reinforcing elements for cement composites with fractal architecture [37], shape optimization of the force networks of masonry structures for civil engineering applications, tensegrity architecture, meta-material printing [38][39][40]. The proposed route for recycling of plastic solid waste is in line with the application domain discussed by other investigators via 3D printing [41][42][43][44][45][46].…”
