Statistical Thermodynamics and Differential Geometry of Microstructured Materials (Softcover Reprint

In this volume, an interdisciplinary group of researchers report their developments. Topics include statistical mechanical free energy theories which predict the appearance of various microstructures, the topological and geometrical methods needed for a mathematical description of the subparts and dividing surfaces of heterogeneous materials, and modern computer-aided mathematical models and graphics for effective exposition of the salient features of microstructured materials.
