Configurational Forces as Basic Concepts of Continuum Physics

Meer over het boek

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.
