Research in Nonlinear Material Behavior

Abstract

The focus of Greenberg's and Kinderlehrer's activities are the behavior of nonlinear material systems at widely varying length and time scales and in many different environments. The specific areas covered in this research were shallow water waves, metastable systems, in particular, melt-solidification problems using phase-field models, traffic modelling, simulation of hysteresis and its analysis in magnetic and manetoelastic systems, mesoscale properties of polycrystalline materials with focus on the development of new techniques to resolve the grain boundary energy from experimental information, and the mesoscale simulation of grain growth.
