Mechanics continues to be an enabling science in many endeavors and thereby interfaces with numerous areas in the physical sciences. One of these areas is miniaturization of devices, where, together with materials science, solid mechanics plays a central role in understanding and predicting the processes during manufacturing and use. Treatment of the interfaces between different materials is among the most challenging problems in this subject area. In the present volume, Fried and Gurtin present a comprehensive, unified treatment of interfaces and their evolution. Working strictly within a continuum thermodynamic framework and exploiting the notion of configurational forces, they carefully construct the governing equations for atomic transport and deformation in the bulk and along interfaces, with due connections and improvements to existing approaches. The general theory is worked out in detail for grain boundaries, for strained solid-vapor interfaces as occur in deposition methods and for coherent phase transitions.
The paper by Pozrikidis is concerned with interfaces between two fluids of different viscosities. Problems of this kind arise in materials processing, invarious engineering devices and processes, and in geophysics. The problems also provide paradigms for the behavior of soft matter in biophysical applications. The role of surfactants is included in the treatment. Taken together, the two papers in this volume provide state-of-the-art perspectives on the role of interfaces in fluids and solids. We hope they will be of interest to a broad cross section of readers in the mechanical sciences.
