Configurational Forces as Basic Concepts of Continuum Physics

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the extension of continuum mechanics, this monograph explores configurational forces in materials, particularly in metallurgy. It offers a rational treatment of these forces within a classical framework and examines their applications in various fields, including phase transitions and fracture. Aimed at materials scientists, mechanicians, and mathematicians, this work promotes a novel perspective on understanding moving boundaries in materials science.
