Definitions

An expression of a chemical affinity tensor is given for a stress-affected chemical reaction, and a thermodynamically sound kinetic equation for a chemical reaction front propagation in a solid is formulated with a normal component of the chemical affinity tensor as a driving force.

Introduction

Mechanochemical coupling – interconnections between chemical reactions and mechanical stresses – has been intensively studied, recognized, and well-documented during last decades. Note that two terms are used in the context of discussions of interconnections between chemistry and mechanics: mechanochemistry and chemomechanics. The word “mechanochemistry” refers to chemical reactions affected by mechanical actions, and it is often specialized for the reaction activated by grinding or ball-milling. Then...
