A General Theory for Elastic Phase Transitions in Crystals

  • Conference paper
Analysis, Modeling and Simulation of Multiscale Problems

Summary

We derive a general theory for elastic phase transitions in solids subject to diffusion under possibly large deformations. After stating the physical model, we derive an existence result for measure-valued solutions that relies on a new approximation result for cylinder functions in infinite settings.
