Synopsis
Thirty lecture and seminar papers assess the state of the art in phase transformations and plasticity, with an emphasis on the interplay between the two fields. A thorough assessment is provided of the various theoretical and numerical methods currently in use to investigate microstructural transformations and mechanical properties of inhomogeneous systems, from the atomic scale to the macroscopic one: kinetic mean field theories, Monte Carlo and molecular dynamic simulations, Ginzburg-Landau and phase field methods as applied to plasticity and microstructures transformations, discrete and stochastic dislocation dynamics, and cluster dynamics. Overviews of major physical processes and properties are also presented. Lacks a subject index. Annotation ©2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
