When guest atoms diffuse into a host solid and react, the host may flow inelastically. Often a
reaction can stimulate flow in a host too brittle to flow under a mechanical load alone. We …

We consider a stress-assist chemical reaction front propagation in a deformable solid
undergoing a localized chemical reaction between solid and gas constituents. The reaction …

In a single-component material, a chemical potential gradient or a wind force drives self-
diffusion. If the self-diffusion flux has a divergence, the material deforms. We formulate a …

To analyse the frequently encountered thermo-chemo-mechanical problems in chemically
active material applications, we develop a thermodynamically-consistent continuum theory …

Electrode materials in lithium-ion batteries offer an example of medium in which stress and
plastic flow are generated by the diffusion of guest atoms. In such a medium, deformation …

We develop a continuum framework applicable to solid-state hydrogen storage, cell biology
and other scenarios where the diffusion of a single constituent within a bulk region is …

We develop an approach to studying the influence of stresses and strains on the kinetics of
chemical reaction fronts based on the expression of the chemical affinity tensor that …

Interfaces and the movement of atoms within an interface play a crucial role in determining
the processing and properties of virtually all materials. However, the nature of interfaces in …

The field of matter transport is central to understanding the processing of materials and their
subsequent mechanical properties. While thermodynamics determines the final state of a …

Materials Kinetics: Transport and Rate Phenomena provides readers with a clear
understanding of how physical-chemical principles are applied to fundamental kinetic …
