This work began with the author's exploration of the applicability of the finite deformation theory of elasticity when various standard assumptions such as convexity of various energies or ellipticity of the field equations of equilibrium are relinquished. The finite deformation theory of elasticity
## Abstract Firstβorder phase transitions are modelled by a nonβhomogeneous, timeβdependent scalarβvalued order parameter or phase field. The time dependence of the order parameter is viewed as arising from a balance law of the structure order. The gross motion is disregarded and hence the body is
