Abstract For a long time, the phase-field method has been considered as a mesoscale phenomenological method lacking physical accuracy and unable to be associated with the mechanical/functional properties of materials, etc. Some misunderstandings existing in these viewpoints need to be clarified. Therefore, it is necessary to propose or adopt the perspective of “unified or unifying phase-field modeling (UPFM)” to address these issues, which means that phase-field modeling has multiple unifications. Specifically, the phase-field method is the perfect unity of thermodynamics and kinetics, the unity of multi-scale models from micro- to meso- and then to macroscopic scale, More >
