Microstructures in phase-transitions of alloys are modeled by the energy minimization of a nonconvex energy density $\phi$. Their time-evolution leads to a nonlinear wave equation $u_{tt}=divS\left(Du\right)$ 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...

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 $u_{tt}=\text{div}S\left(Du\right)$ 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.
