    A degenerating Cahn-Hilliard system coupled with complete damage processes
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2012) Heinemann, Christian; Kraus, Christiane
    Complete damage in elastic solids appears when the material looses all its integrity due to high exposure. In the case of alloys, the situation is quite involved since spinodal decomposition and coarsening also occur at sufficiently low temperatures which may lead locally to high stress peaks. Experimental observations on solder alloys reveal void and crack growth especially at phase boundaries. In this work, we investigate analytically a degenerating PDE system with a time-depending domain for phase separation and complete damage processes under time-varying Dirichlet boundary conditions. The evolution of the system is described by a degenerating parabolic differential equation of fourth order for the concentration, a doubly nonlinear differential inclusion for the damage process and a degenerating quasi-static balance equation for the displacement field. All these equations are strongly nonlinearly coupled....

    Existence of weak solutions for a PDE system describing phase separation and damage processes including inertial effects
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2014) Heinemann, Christian; Kraus, Christiane
    In this paper, we consider a coupled PDE system describing phase separation and damage phenomena in elastically stressed alloys in the presence of inertial effects. The material is considered on a bounded Lipschitz domain with mixed boundary conditions for the displacement variable. The main aim of this work is to establish existence of weak solutions for the introduced hyperbolic-parabolic system. To this end, we first adopt the notion of weak solutions introduced in [HK11]. Then we prove existence of weak solutions by means of regularization, time-discretization and different variational techniques.

    Modeling and analysis of a phase field system for damage and phase separation processes in solids
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2013) Bonetti, Elena; Heinemann, Christian; Kraus, Christiane; Segatti, Antonio
    In this work, we analytically investigate a multi-component system for describing phase separation and damage processes in solids. The model consists of a parabolic diffusion equation of fourth order for the concentration coupled with an elliptic system with material dependent coefficients for the strain tensor and a doubly nonlinear differential inclusion for the damage function. The main aim of this paper is to show existence of weak solutions for the introduced model, where, in contrast to existing damage models in the literature, different elastic properties of damaged and undamaged material are regarded. To prove existence of weak solutions for the introduced model, we start with an approximation system. Then, by passing to the limit, existence results of weak solutions for the proposed model are obtained via suitable variational techniques.
