Fine phase mixtures as minimizers of energy

TLDR
In this article, the authors explore a theoretical approach to these fine phase mixtures based on the minimization of free energy and show that the α-phase breaks up into triangular domains called Dauphine twins which become finer and finer in the direction of increasing temperature.
Abstract
Solid-solid phase transformations often lead to certain characteristic microstructural features involving fine mixtures of the phases. In martensitic transformations one such feature is a plane interface which separates one homogeneous phase, austenite, from a very fine mixture of twins of the other phase, martensite. In quartz crystals held in a temperature gradient near the α-β transformation temperature, the α-phase breaks up into triangular domains called Dauphine twins which become finer and finer in the direction of increasing temperature. In this paper we explore a theoretical approach to these fine phase mixtures based on the minimization of free energy.

Minimizing sequences for nonconvex functionals, phase transitions and singular perturbations

TL;DR: In this paper, the singularly perturbed functional minimization problem is studied and it is shown that the minimizer is nearly periodic with period proportional to e. Connections with solid-solid phase transitions in crystals are indicated.

Helical Miura Origami

TL;DR: In this paper, the phase space of all closed Miura origami structures is characterized, and it is shown that these structures are generically rigid to deformations that preserve cylindrical symmetry but are multistable.

Lower Semicontinuity and Relaxation Via Young Measures for Nonlocal Variational Problems and Applications to Peridynamics

TL;DR: This work states a general relaxation result in terms of Young measures and shows the difficulty of having a relaxation in $L^p$ in an integral form, contrary to what happens for local functionals, nonpositive integrands may ...

Numerical approximation of relaxed variational problems.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the case when φ(x, u, ·) : IR → IR is not quasiconvex (in the sense of Morrey [19]) so that the minimum in (P) is generally not achieved.
