A research program based on numerical and theoretical methods will be           established for the study of deformations involving changes of phase,           mainly in elastic solids.  Research will focus on the following aspects         and applications:  (1) effects of discontinuities in the strain fields          surrounding crack tips in transformation-toughened ceramics; (2)                kinetics of quasi-static equilibrium phase boundaries in elastic                materials; (3) numerical methods for the modeling of progressive failure        in solids; (4) the role of chaos in the mixing of phases in solids.
