Full Description
Materials Kinetics: Transport and Rate Phenomena, Second Edition introduces readers to the essential principles that govern kinetic processes in materials science. By bridging foundational concepts with advanced computational methods, this book shows how physical-chemical laws drive phenomena such as diffusion and viscosity. Readers learn how these fundamental mechanisms shape the design and performance of materials, gaining insights applicable to metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites. The text emphasizes the practical relevance of kinetics, equipping students and professionals with the skills needed to analyze and solve real-world materials design challenges.
Beyond its comprehensive coverage of thermodynamics, Fick's law, and phase separation kinetics, the book explores topics such as molecular dynamics, energy landscapes, and Monte Carlo simulation. New chapters delve into sintering, topological constraint theory, ab initio molecular dynamics, and both thermal and electrical conduction. Updated content includes expanded examples of multicomponent diffusion, grain boundary modeling, and applications of phase-field and diffuse interface theories.
