โฆ Synopsis
The theory of configurational forces is presented within the non-linear dynamic framework. The configurational force balance is recast in a form which resembles the equation of motion. Specializations to statics and the small strain case are given. The general use of configurational forces is discussed by help of numerous examples. Additionally the occurrence of configurational forces in the Finite Element Method is illustrated. The numerically induced configurational forces can be used to improve the numerical resolution.

Configurational forces and couples acting on a dynamically evolving fracture process region as well as their balance are studied with special emphasis to microstructure and dissipation. To be able to investigate fracture process regions preceding cracks of mode I, II and III we choose as underlying
## Abstract We study the existence of traveling/standing waves to models based on configurational forces. These models describe, respectively, structural phase transitions in solids, e.g., Shape memory alloys, and phase transitions due to interface motion by interface diffusion, e.g., Sintering. Al
