Next, the more complex motion of dislocations and interfaces is addressed. Finally, still more complex kinetic phenomena, such as morphological evolution and phase transformations, are treated. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout the textbook, readers are instilled with an appreciation of the subjects analytic foundations and, in many cases, the approximations commonly used in the field. The authors offer many extensive derivations of important results to help illuminate their origins. While the principal focus is on kinetic phenomena in crystalline materials, select phenomena in noncrystalline materials are also discussed. In many cases, the principles involved apply to all materials. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExercises with accompanying solutions are provided throughout \u003ci\u003eKinetics of Materials,\u003c\/i\u003e enabling readers to put their newfound knowledge into practice.
