Finite element formulations are developed to model microstructure evolution by a combination of grain–boundary diffusion, grain–boundary migration and free surface diffusion. The formulations are based on a unified variational principle which allows fully coupled processes to be analysed. For example, a process can be analysed which involves grain–boundary diffusion along a curved and migrating grain–boundary network, coupled with surface diffusion along internal and/or external free surfaces which intersect with the grain–boundary network. The numerical solution provides the velocities of each individual grain and the velocities of grain–boundaries and migrating surfaces. The finite element formulations, when combined with a time integration algorithm, form a numerical technique which can be used to simulate microstructural evolution in polycrystalline materials. The technique can be applied to a wide range of physical problems including: sintering of powder compacts; grain–growth; diffusive void growth and crack propagation; superplastic deformation and the morphological evolution of electronic thin films. Various numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the numerical technique.
