IUTAM Symposium on Mechanics of Martensitic Phase Transformation in Solids

Phase transition phenomena in solids are of vital interest to physicists, materials scientists, and engineers who need to understand and model the mechanical behaviour of solids during various kinds of phase transformations. This volume is a collection of 29 written contributions by invited speakers from 14 countries to the IUTAM Symposium on Mechanics of Martensitic Phase Transformation in Solids, the first IUTAM Symposium focusing on this topic. It contains basic theoretical and experimental aspects of advances in the mechanics research of martensitic phase transformations. Due to the multidisciplinary nature of the research covered, this volume should be of interest to researchers, graduate students and engineers in the field of theoretical and applied mechanics as well as materials science and technology.
