Exploring recent developments in continuum mechanics, this book presents the general framework for configurational forces and covers a range of applications in engineering and condensed matter physics. The author provides examples of standard linear and nonlinear, recoverable, and thermodynamically irreversible behaviors. He also presents applic

Presenting the general framework of configurational forces, this book offers an approach to material forces that can be used to predict the propagation of defects in materials ranging from dislocations and cracks in metals to domain walls in ferromagnets and many industrial components.
