Abstract

This paper discusses some recent work with M. Gurtin and M. Slemrod on the displacement boundary value problem of a one-dimensional elastic material capable of exhibiting exchanges of phase. This study was motivated by some work of Ericksen [4], who showed that by taking a non-convex stress strain law, elasticity could model phase changes (see also Antman [2], and Antman and Carbone [3]).
