Global existence of strong solutions to the one-dimensional full model for phase transitions in thermoviscoelastic materials
This paper is devoted to the analysis of a one-dimensional model for phase transition phenomena in thermoviscoelastic materials. The corresponding parabolic-hyperbolic PDE system features a strongly nonlinear internal energy balance equation, governing the evolution of the absolute temperature , an evolution equation for the phase change parameter , including constraints on the phase variable, and a hyperbolic stress-strain relation for the displacement variable . The main novelty of the model...
