Review of selected fundamental topics on the interaction between phase transformations,
fracture, and other structural changes in inelastic materials is presented. It mostly focuses on …

Thermodynamically consistent phase field theory for multivariant martensitic transformations,
which includes large strains and interface stresses, is developed. Theory is formulated in a …

A unified finite-element approach to phase transformation (PT), twinning and fracture in
elastoplastic materials both at small and finite strains is developed. The applicability of the …

Thermodynamically consistent phase field theory for multivariant martensitic transformations
is developed with the main focus on introducing correct interface stresses (tension). The …

A number of simple examples demonstrate the applicability of the general theory developed
in Part I of this paper to various structural changes in solids, namely to displacive and …

A thermodynamically consistent, large-strain, multi-phase field approach (with consequent
interface stresses) is generalized for the case with anisotropic interface (gradient) energy …

The universal (ie independent of the constitutive equations) thermodynamic driving force for
coherent interface reorientation during first-order phase transformations in solids is derived …

We define a structural change in inelastic material as a thermomechanical process of
change in some region of material properties (elastic moduli, heat capacity, thermal …

Incoherent phase transitions are more difficult to treat than their coherent counterparts. The
interface, which appears as a single surface in the deformed configuration, is represented in …

Two‐phase deformation of an elastic body is studied by a small strain approach. Phase
transformations of martensite type are implied. An arbitrary anisotropy of the phases and …
