A major goal of materials science is to create new engineering materials and optimize their cost and performance. Understanding how adjacent materials behave at their borders is an essential part of this process. Grain boundaries are the longest-known crystal defects, but althou…
"Like the popular first edition, Grain Boundary Migration in Metals: Thermodynamics, Kinetics, Applications, Second Edition focuses extensively on the thermodynamics, kinetics, and applications involved with individual grain boundary migration in metals. However, this new volume…
The monograph presents a detailed mathematical examination of the generalised laws of diffusion in capillary porous solids as applicable to particular geometric situations of interest in the technology of drying. The novelty of the monograph is to present the result in dimension…
