Book Synopsis
Examines material behaviour that is rooted in statistical mechanics. While many presentations of mathematical problems in materials science begin with continuum mechanics, this volume takes an alternate approach. Contributions to this volume present unique pedagogical introductions to the rich variety of material behaviour that emerges from the interplay of geometry and statistical mechanics.

Table of Contents
  • V. Elser, Three lectures on statistical mechanics
  • H. Cohn, Packing, coding, and ground states
  • A. A. Lee and D. Frenkel, Entropy, probability and packing
  • M. P. Brenner, Ideas about self assembly
  • P. Palffy-Muhoray, M. V. Pevnyi, E. G. Virga, and X. Zheng, The effects of particle shape in orientationally ordered soft materials
  • R. Kotecky, Statistical mechanics and nonlinear elasticity
  • P. Bella, A. Giunti, and F. Otto, Quantitative stochastic homogenization: Local control of homogenization error through corrector
