Thermodynamic fundamentals of mechanochemistry

The definitions of the affinity tensor and the tensor of chemical potential of an immobile component of a solid are given. The mechanochemistry of a l iquid is formulated. Mechanically anisotropic states of a solid and their i nfluence on affinity are analyzed. Thermodynamic equations are deduced rela ting the chemical potential tensor to the stress and strain tensors. The me chanochemistry of an ideally elastic solid and of a solid with mobile compo nents, as well as the mechanochemistry of an interface, are formulated. As an example, the mechanochemical effect of dissolution (evaporation) is cons idered including its dependence on the deformation sign.
