<abstract><p>Our aim in this paper is to study a mathematical model for brain cancers with chemotherapy and antiangiogenic therapy effects. We prove the existence and uniqueness of biologically relevant (nonnegative) solutions. We then address the important question of optimal treatment. More precisely, we study the problem of finding the controls that provide the optimal cytotoxic and antiangiogenic effects to treat the cancer.</p></abstract>

In order to incorporate the mechanical behavior of ferroelastic phase into the stress analysis of solid oxide fuel cell in consideration of elastic, creep, thermal and reduction strains, we propose a mathematical model to predict the formation of ferroelastic phases in crystal grains of La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3-δ. The phase field model equipped with the elastic energy is introduced to realize the morphology formation of ferroelastic phases in a crystal grain. By the use of the developed mathematical model, some numerical examples are performed to reproduce the deformation-induced nucleation and growth of ferroelastic phases of La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3-δ.

AbstractA three-dimensional phase-field model is developed to simulate grain evolutions during powder-bed-fusion (PBF) additive manufacturing, while the physically-informed temperature profile is implemented from a thermal-fluid flow model. The phase-field model incorporates a nucleation model based on classical nucleation theory, as well as the initial grain structures of powder particles and substrate. The grain evolutions during the three-layer three-track PBF process are comprehensively reproduced, including grain nucleation and growth in molten pools, epitaxial growth from powder particles, substrate and previous tracks, grain re-melting and re-growth in overlapping zones, and grain coarsening in heat-affected zones. A validation experiment has been carried out, showing that the simulation results are consistent with the experimental results in the molten pool and grain morphologies. Furthermore, the grain refinement by adding nanoparticles is preliminarily reproduced and compared against the experimental result in literature.
