讲座内容：Grain boundaries are the interfaces between grains with different orientations in polycrystalline materials. Energetic and dynamic properties of grain boundaries play essential roles in the mechanical and plastic behaviors of the materials. These properties of grain boundaries strongly depend on their microscopic structures. We present continuum models for the energy and dynamics of grain boundaries based on continuous distributions of the line defects (dislocations or disconnections) on them.  The long-range elastic interaction between these line defects is included in the continuum models. The continuum models are able to describe the shear coupling motions of grain boundaries, which were observed in atomistic simulations and experiments and cannot be explained by the classical motion by mean curvature models. We further present a unified continuum model based on variational framework to account for all these microscopic mechanisms.
