Stability and Uniqueness in Nonlinear Continuum Mechanics.

Abstract

The main thrust of this project was to develop a thermodynamically admissible theory of phase transitions, hopefully appropriate for the study of crystal growth. Secondary projects included the development of models for thermoviscoelasticity and thermoviscoplasticity. Keywords: Nonlinear continuum mechanics; Phase transition theory; Crystal growth; Thermoviscoelasticity; Thermoviscoplasticity.
