Improved phase field microelasticity theory

An improvement on the three-dimensional phase field microelasticity theory for elastically and structurally inhomogeneous solids

Y Shen et al

The three-dimensional phase field microelasticity theory for elastically and structurally inhomogeneous solids is improved with a simple and efficient damped iterative method. This method can be used to obtain the effective stress-free strain distribution that fully determines the stress and strain fields in the elastically and structurally inhomogeneous solids, or directly obtain the strain field from the equilibrium equation.

Got to implement this some time!
