J. Sprekels et al., ASYMPTOTIC-BEHAVIOR OF THE SOLUTIONS TO A LANDAU-GINZBURG SYSTEM WITHVISCOSITY FOR MARTENSITIC PHASE-TRANSITIONS IN SHAPE-MEMORY ALLOYS, SIAM journal on mathematical analysis, 29(1), 1998, pp. 69-84
In this paper, we investigate the system of partial differential equat
ions governing the dynamics of martensitic phase transitions in shape
memory alloys under the presence of a (possibly small) viscous stress.
The corresponding free energy is assumed in Landau-Ginzburg form and
nonconvex as a function of the order parameter. Results concerning the
asymptotic behavior of the solution as time tends to infinity are pro
ved, and the compactness of the orbit is shown.
