Phase-field methods in materials science and engineering

The demand for stronger, lightweight and more formable materials for all areas of industrial manufacturing is directly linked to the physics governing the formation of their inner microstructure. To date there are no serious books that deal with the physics of microstructure formation in materials in a way that connects the phenomenology (i.e. what the engineers know) with the fundamental pattern formation physics that governs the formation of such complex micro and nanostructures. Moreover, there are no serious texts that discuss the various ways in which advanced numerical techniques can be brought to bear on the various phase-field methods that have been developed to study microstructure formation.
