Predictive theories of phenomena involving phase change with
applications in engineering are investigated in this volume, e.g.
solid-liquid phase change, volume and surface damage, and phase
change involving temperature discontinuities. Many other phase
change phenomena such as solid-solid phase change in shape memory
alloys and vapor-liquid phase change are also explored. Modeling is
based on continuum thermo-mechanics. This involves a renewed
principle of virtual power introducing the power of the microscopic
motions responsible for phase change. This improvement yields a new
equation of motion related to microscopic motions, beyond the
classical equation of motion for macroscopic motions. The new
theory sensibly improves the phase change modeling. For example,
when warm rain falls on frozen soil, the dangerous black ice
phenomenon can be comprehensively predicted. In addition, novel
equations predict the evolution of clouds, which are themselves a
mixture of air, liquid water and vapor.
