Periodic Reporting for period 1 - MIGRATE (Cosserat phase field modelling and simulation of viscoplasticity induced grain boundary migration and recrystallisation in metallic polycrystals)

Metals and metallic alloys are so important to humans that there are even epochs in history named after them (Iron Age, Bronze Age). Long before modern powerful microscopy, skilled metal workers knew how to manipulate the microstructure and thereby the behavior of metals...
