Variational methods for crystalline microstructure : analysis and computation /

Show other versions (1)

Phase transformations in solids typically lead to surprising mechanical behaviour with far reaching technological applications. The mathematical modeling of these transformations in the late 80s initiated a new field of research in applied mathematics, often referred to as mathematical materials sci...
