Abstract

Necessary and sufficient conditions for intrinsically stable equilibrium in a multiphase, multicomponent body are developed with interfacial effects taken into full account. There is a limiting criterion for intrinsic stability that must be satisfied within every phase, and there is another limiting criterion that must be satisfied on every phase interface. The limits of intrinsic stability for a multiphase, multicomponent body are defined by the failure either of the first criterion within one of the phases or of the second criterion on one of the phase interfaces.
