Microstructure of Martensite : Why it forms and how it gives rise to the shape-memory effect Hardback

Description
Martensites are crystalline solids that display dazzling patterns at the microscopic scales.
This microstructure gives rise to unusual macroscopic properties like the shape-memory effect.
Starting with the crystalline structure, this book describes a theoretical framework for studying martensites and uses the theory to explain why these materials form microstructure.
The macroscopic consequences of the microstructure are subsequently discussed.
Complete with a piece of shape-memory wire and numerous examples from real materials, this book represents a successful case study in multiscale modelling, giving a clear understanding of the link between microstructure and macroscopic properties.
Beautifully written, in a most clear and pedagogical manner, it holds appeal for a broad audience.
On the one hand, it introduces modern modelling techniques to those trained in materials science, mechanics and physics, and shows how these techniques can be used in real-world problems.
On the other hand, it introduces physical phenomena to those trained in mathematics, and demonstrates how such phenomena give rise to interesting mathematical problems.
