Thermomechanics of Evolving Phase Boundaries in the Plane by Morton E Gurtin

Thermomechanics of Evolving Phase Boundaries in the Plane by Morton E Gurtin

This book is one of the very first on the subject of mathematical materials science and presents a view different from that prevalent in the physical literature. Issues foundational in nature are stressed with the emphasis on the interplay between mathematics and physics. It discusses the dynamics of two-phase systems within the framework of modern continuum thermodynamics. Two general theories are considered and the resulting equations exhibit unstable growth patterns. The free boundary problems that form the basis of the subject should be of great interest to mathematicians and physical scientists.

The book is unique in the topics it discusses and in the approach and the nature of the presentation pertaining to these topics.. it can be used as a reference. * J.A. Gatowski, Applied Mechanics Review, vol. 47, no 7, July 1994 *
This very good book, presents a study of the dynamics of two-phase systems within the framework of modern continuum thermodynamics ... a detailed account of a number of important results in a field to which the author has made substantial contributions .., Special problems and exercises are included. This monograph is a very useful work. * Zbl. Math. 787 *
