Multi-component Allen-Cahn equation for elastically stressed solids

Thomas Blesgen, Ulrich Weikard

Abstract:
The vector-valued Allen-Cahn equations are combined with elasticity where a linear stress-strain relationship is assumed. A short physical derivation of the generalised model is given and global existence and uniqueness of the solution are shown under suitable growth conditions on the nonlinearity.
