Continuum models for phase transitions and twinning in crystals /

Show other versions (3)

This work presents the fundamentals of an approach to crystal thermomechanics - a nonlinear elastic continuum model for twinning and displacive phase transitions in crystalline materials. The authors investigate the actual mechanical aspects of the phenomenon in an electrostatics framework.
