Synopsis

Materials science is a growth area for mathematics in the United States. This volume unites mathematicians, computer scientists, physicists and material scientists in a comprehensive presentation of empirical material on microstructure evolution. The book's tutorial presentation of modern mathematical methods should make it a useful reference for materials scientists. This volume explores such topics as the effects of stress on electromagnetic fields, computer simulations of the kinetics of phase transitions and the evolution of shapes towards equilibrium.

About this title

Synopsis

Materials science is a growth area for applied mathematics in the United States. This is the fourth in a series of monographs sponsored by the Electronic, Magnetic and Photonic Materials Division of TMS, and it contains modern mathematical methods presented in a tutorial way through the joint efforts of both mathematicians and materials scientists. Coverage includes: surface evolver as a tool for materials science research; edge-energy minimizing surfaces; the thermal stability of alloys having a periodic minimal surface microstructures; real-space lattice statics description of a random lattice; computer simulations of phase decomposition in real-alloy systems based on a discrete-type diffusion equation; on the physics of self-organizing microstructual evolution; the mathematics of processing for material microstructuring; and modelling and control of advanced chemical vapour deposition processes.
