Speaker: Maria Emelianenko (Carnegie Mellon University)
Title: Mathematical modeling and simulation of texture evolution

Abstract:
Preparing a texture suitable for a given purpose is a central problem in 
materials science, which presents many challenges for mathematical 
modeling, simulation, and analysis. In this talk, I will focus on the 
mesoscopic behavior of the grain boundary system and on understanding the 
role of topological reconfigurations during evolution. Several types of 
evolution equations based on pure probabilistic and stochastic 
descriptions will be formulated and compared against the results provided 
by simulation. Their advantages and limitations, numerical characteristics 
and possible extensions to higher dimensions will be discussed.
