title = "A non-equilibrium thermodynamics framework for domain evolution; phase field models and finite element implementation",
abstract = "A continuum thermodynamics framework for the diffuse interface or {"}phase field{"} approach to domain evolution is presented. The theory distinguishes the fundamental balance laws which are universal (i.e. mechanical equilibrium, Gauss' law, and a new micro-force balance) from the constitutive laws, which describe the behavior of a specific material. A finite element formulation based on a virtual work statement is implemented using mechanical displacements, electrical potential, and polarization components (the vector {"}order parameter{"}) as nodal degrees of freedom. The finite element code is then applied to simulate the growth of a 180° domain needle through a parent domain.",
