In this paper we prove existence, uniqueness, and continuous dependence for a one-dimensional time-dependent problem related to a thermo-mechanical model of structural phase transitions in solids. This model assumes the free energy depending on temperature, macroscopic deformation and also on the proportions of the phases. Here we neglect regularizing terms in the momentum balance equation and in the constitutive laws for the phase proportions.

Existence and uniqueness of solutions for a three-dimensional thermoelastic system

Irena Pawłow, Antoni Żochowski

Similarity:

A thermodynamically consistent model of shape memory alloys in three dimensions is studied. The thermoelastic system, based on the strain tensor, its gradient and the absolute temperature, is a generalization of the well-known one-dimensional Falk model. The key assumptions concerning the form of constitutive relations are discussed. The detailed and selfcontained proof of the global-in-time existence and uniqueness of solutions is presented.

Similarity:

A thermodynamically consistent model of shape memory alloys in three dimensions is studied. The thermoelasticity system, based on the strain tensor, its gradient and the absolute temperature, generalizes the well-known one-dimensional Falk model. Under simplifying structural assumptions we prove global in time existence and uniqueness of the solution.

A phase-field model for compliance shape optimization in nonlinear elasticity

Similarity:

Shape optimization of mechanical devices is investigated in the context of large, geometrically strongly nonlinear deformations and nonlinear hyperelastic constitutive laws. A weighted sum of the structure compliance, its weight, and its surface area are minimized. The resulting nonlinear elastic optimization problem differs significantly from classical shape optimization in linearized elasticity. Indeed, there exist different definitions for the compliance: the change in potential energy...
