The Dynamics of Phase Transitions - Part I of III
3:30 PM-5:30 PM
Room: Constitution
For Part II, see MS31; For Part III, see MS38.
Phase transformations play a critical role in various aspects of materials science and give rise to a very rich class of free boundary problems. This minisymposium will address models and the analysis of models of dynamic processes associated with phase transformations in a variety of settings. The speakers come from diverse backgrounds including mathematics, mechanics, physics and materials science.
