Abstract

Microstructures in phase-transitions of alloys are modeled by the energy minimization of a nonconvex energy density ϕ. Their time-evolution leads to a nonlinear wave equation u t t = div S ( D u ) with the non-monotone stress-strain relation S = D φ plus proper boundary and initial conditions. This hyperbolic-elliptic initial-boundary value problem of changing types allows, in general, solely Young-measure solutions. This paper introduces a fully-numerical time-space discretization of this equation in a corresponding very weak sense. It is shown that discrete solutions exist and generate weakly convergent subsequences whose limit is a Young-measure solution. Numerical examples in one space dimension illustrate the time-evolving phase transitions and microstructures of a nonlinearly vibrating string.

AB - Microstructures in phase-transitions of alloys are modeled by the energy minimization of a nonconvex energy density ϕ. Their time-evolution leads to a nonlinear wave equation $u_{tt}=\mbox{div}\:S(Du)$ with the non-monotone stress-strain relation $S=D\phi$ plus proper boundary and initial conditions. This hyperbolic-elliptic initial-boundary value problem of changing types allows, in general, solely Young-measure solutions. This paper introduces a fully-numerical time-space discretization of this equation in a corresponding very weak sense. It is shown that discrete solutions exist and generate weakly convergent subsequences whose limit is a Young-measure solution. Numerical examples in one space dimension illustrate the time-evolving phase transitions and microstructures of a nonlinearly vibrating string.
