Material Inhomogeneities and their Evolution A Geometric Approach

Material Inhomogeneities and their Evolution A Geometric Approach / by Marcelo Epstein, Marek Elzanowski.

Inhomogeneity theory is of importance for the description of a variety of material phenomena, including continuous distributions of dislocations, fracture mechanics, plasticity, biological remodelling and growth and, more generally, all processes that entail changes in the material body driven by fo...
