Abstract

In the preceding chapter, we discussed the general principles of the thermodynamics of self-healing with the emphasis on metallic materials. In this chapter, we concentrate on the multiscale nature of self-healing mechanisms. To illustrate the multiscale nature of entropy production, we investigate a particular example of grain growth in metals. After that we discuss a prototype system involving an Al alloy reinforced with microtubes, filled with Sn60Pb40 solder; this is discussed as a case study.
