Mecke K., Stoyan D. (Eds.) Morphology of Condensed Matter: Physics and Geometry of Spatially Complex Systems

Springer-Verlag, Berlin, Heidelberg, New York, 2002. — 452 p. — ISBN: 3540442030The morphology of spatially stuctured materials is a rapidly growing field of research at the interface of statistical physics, applied mathematics and materials science. A wide spectrum of applications encompasses the flow through porous and composite materials as well as microemulsions and foams. Written as a set of lectures and tutorial reviews leading up to the forefront of research, this book will be both a compendium for the experienced researcher as well as a high level introductory text for postgraduate students and nonspecialist researchers working in related areas.Spatial Statistics and Micromechanics of Materials
