Abstract
In this paper we study the propagation of a phase boundary which meets the boundary of the body at an edge or meets other phase boundaries at a juncti on. We show that it is necessary to provide kinetic relations for the edges and junctions in addition to the kinetic relation of the phase boundary. W e derive thermodynamically consistent forms for these additional kinetic re lations and show that they have a profound effect on the evolution of the p hase boundary. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
