| Popis: | In this paper, the thermodynamic configurational force associated with a moving interface is used to derive the conditions for phase growth and nucleation in bodies with multiple diffusing species and arbitrary surface stress at the phase interface. First, the mass, momentum and energy balances are derived on the evolving phase interface. The thermodynamic conditions that result from free energy inequality at the interface are derived leading to the analytical form of the configurational force for bodies subject to mechanical loads, heat and multiple diffusing species. The derived second law condition naturally extends the Eshelby energy–momentum tensor to include species diffusion terms. The above second law restriction is then used to derive the condition for the growth of new phases in a body undergoing finite deformation subject to inhomogeneous as well as anisotropic interface stress, and multiple diffusing species. The growth conditions are derived in both current and reference configurations. The statistical temperature-dependent growth velocity is next derived using the Boltzmann distribution. The derived finite deformation form of growth requirement is simplified to obtain the small deformation diffusive void growth condition. Next, a general, finite deformation, arbitrary surface stress form of phase nucleation condition is derived by considering uncertainty in growth of a small nucleus. The probability of nucleation is shown to naturally depend on a theoretical estimate of critical volumetric energy density, which is directly related to the surface stress. The classical nucleation theory is shown to result from a simplified special case of the general criterion. As an application of the developed theory, the classical Blech electromigration experiment is simulated to estimate the critical energy density corresponding to the onset of electromigration voids at Al–TiN interface. |
