Gas-solid reaction with porosity change.
We characterize the general solutions to certain symmetric systems of linear partial differential equations with tensor functionals as unknowns. Then we determine the solutions that are physically meaningful in suitable senses related with the constitutive functionals of two simple thermodynamic bodies with fading memory that are globally equivalent, i.e. roughly speaking that behave in the same way along processes not involving cuts. The domains of the constitutive functionals are nowhere dense...
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...
The article deals with a nonlinear generalized Ginzburg-Landau (Allen-Cahn) system of PDEs accounting for nonisothermal phase transition phenomena which was recently derived by A. Miranville and G. Schimperna: Nonisothermal phase separation based on a microforce balance, Discrete Contin. Dyn. Syst., Ser. B, 5 (2005), 753–768. The existence of solutions to a related Neumann-Robin problem is established in an -dimensional space setting. A fixed point procedure guarantees the existence of solutions...
