Introduction to the models of phase transitions

A. Visintin (1998)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Similarity:

Le transizioni di fase si presentano in svariati processi fisici: un esempio tipico è la transizione solido-liquido. Il classico modello matematico, noto come , tiene conto solo dello scambio del calore latente e della diffusione termica nelle fasi. Si tratta di un problema di frontiera libera, poiché l'evoluzione dell'interfaccia solido liquido è una delle incognite. In questo articolo si rivedono le formulazioni forte e debole di tale problema, e quindi si considerano alcune generalizzazioni...

Hysteresis operators in phase-field models of Penrose-fife type

Pavel Krejčí, Jürgen Sprekels (1998)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

Phase-field systems as mathematical models for phase transitions have drawn a considerable attention in recent years. However, while they are suitable for capturing many of the experimentally observed phenomena, they are only of restricted value in modelling hysteresis effects occurring during phase transition processes. To overcome this shortcoming of existing phase-field theories, the authors have recently proposed a new approach to phase-field models which is based on the mathematical...

Unique global solvability of 1D Fried-Gurtin model

Zenon Kosowski (2007)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

We investigate a 1-dimensional simple version of the Fried-Gurtin 3-dimensional model of isothermal phase transitions in solids. The model uses an order parameter to study solid-solid phase transitions. The free energy density has the Landau-Ginzburg form and depends on a strain, an order parameter and its gradient. The problem considered here has the form of a coupled system of one-dimensional elasticity and a relaxation law for a scalar order parameter. Under some physically justified...
