    Thermally driven phase transformation in shape-memory alloys
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2007) Mielke, Alexander; Petrov, Adrien
    This paper analyzes a model for phase transformation in shape-memory alloys induced by temperature changes and by mechanical loading. We assume that the temperature is prescribed and formulate the problem within the framework of the energetic theory of rate-independent processes. Existence and uniqueness results are proved.

    Convergence of solutions of kinetic variational inequalities in the rate-independent quasi-static limit
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2008) Mielke, Alexander; Petrov, Adrien; Martins, João A.C.
    This paper discusses the convergence of kinetic variational inequalities to rate-independent quasi-static variational inequalities. Mathematical formulations as well as existence and uniqueness results for kinetic and rate-independent quasi-static problems are provided. Sharp a priori estimates for the kinetic problem are derived that imply that the kinetic solutions converge to the rate-independent ones, when the size of initial perturbations and the rate of application of the forces tends to 0. An application to three-dimensional elastic-plastic systems with hardening is given.

    On existence and approximation for a 3D model of thermally-induced phase transformations in shape-memory alloys
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2008) Mielke, Alexander; Paoli, Laetitia; Petrov, Adrien
    This paper deals with a three-dimensional model for thermal stress-induced transformations in shape-memory materials. Microstructure, like twined martensites, is described mesoscopically by a vector of internal variables containing the volume fractions of each phase. We assume that the temperature variations are prescribed. The problem is formulated mathematically within the energetic framework of rate-independent processes. An existence result is proved and temporal regularity is obtained in case of uniform convexity. We study also space-time discretizations and establish convergence of these approximations.

    Error estimates for space-time discretizations of a rate-independent variational inequality
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2009) Mielke, Alexander; Paoli, Laetitia; Petrov, Adrien; Stefanelli, Ulisse
    This paper deals with error estimates for space-time discretizations in the context of evolutionary variational inequalities of rate-independent type. After introducing a general abstract evolution problem, we address a fully-discrete approximation and provide a priori error estimates. The application of the abstract theory to a semilinear case is detailed. In particular, we provide explicit space-time convergence rates for the isothermal Souza-Auricchio model for shape-memory alloys.
