Description for Configurational Forces as Basic Concepts of Continuum Physics
Hardback. Presents a rational treatment of the notion of configurational forces. This monograph includes a presentation of configurational forces within a classical context, and a discussion of their use in areas as diverse as phase transitions and fracture. It is of interest to materials scientists, mechanicians, and mathematicians. Series: Applied Mathematical Sciences. Num Pages: 264 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBW; PH. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 15. Weight in Grams: 559.
For the last decade, the author has been working to extend continuum mechanics to treat moving boundaries in materials focusing, in particular, on problems of metallurgy. This monograph presents a rational treatment of the notion of configurational forces; it is an effort to promote a new viewpoint. Included is a presentation of configurational forces within a classical context and a discussion of their use in areas as diverse as phase transitions and fracture. The work should be of interest to materials scientists, mechanicians, and mathematicians.

Reviews for Configurational Forces as Basic Concepts of Continuum Physics
From the reviews: SIAM REVIEW "This important book presents the development, within the framework of continuum mechanics, of the mathematical theory of such accretive forces…The monograph is a clearly and concisely written collection of short chapters…The framework provided by the use of configurational as well as standard forces is convincingly set out in an elegant and ...
