Existence and uniqueness of a problem in thermo-elasto-plasticity with phase transitions in TRIP steels under mixed boundary conditions

Abstract

In this paper a complex model describing thermo-elasto-plasticity, phase transitions (PT) and transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) is studied. The main objective is the analysis of the corresponding initial and boundary value problem (IBVP) considering linearized thermo-elastic dissipation and a viscosity-like regularization.
