| Abstract Scope |
Coupling stress and compositional evolution in solids has a deep and complex history. One of the most significant efforts came from Larché and Cahn, whose rigorous work remains challenging to absorb and apply. I was fortunate to be at NIST, where Bob Sekerka visited regularly and John Cahn was just down the hall—resources that made the topic more accessible. A 2004 review by Voorhees and Johnson further clarified the landscape. With this foundation, a group of us at NIST set out to address the thermodynamics of creep in crystalline solids, integrating network solid mechanics, vacancy generation and annihilation, nonlinear stress, and multiple coordinate systems into a unified framework. This talk will revisit the state of this effort circa 2013 and highlight what remains to be done to translate these insights into broader impact. |
