ICM 2002 Vol. III 1–3 3 Analysis of Energetic Models for 0 0 Rate-Independent Materials 2 y a M Alexander Mielke∗ 1 ] Abstract A N We consider rate-independent models which are defined via two function- . als: the time-dependent energy-storage functional I : [0, T ] ×X → [0, ∞] and h the dissipation distance D : X × X → [0, ∞]. A function z : [0, T ] → X is t a called a solution of the energetic model, if for all 0 ≤ s t ≤ T we have m stability: I (t, z (t)) ≤ I(t, z) + D (z (t), z) for all z ∈ X ; [ energy inequality: I (t, z (t))+Diss (z, [s, t]) ≤ I(s, z (s))+ t ∂ I (τ, z (τ )) dτ . D τ s 1 We provide an abstract framework for finding solutions of this problem. v It involves time discretization where each incremental problem is a global 4 1 minimization problem. We give applications in material modeling where z ∈ 0 Z ⊂ X denotes the internal state of a body. The first application treats 5 shape-memory alloys where z indicates the different crystallographic phases. 0 The second application describes the delamination of bodies glued together 3 where z is the proportion of still active glue along the contact zones. The third 0 application treats finite-strain plasticity where z (t, x) lies in a Lie group. / h t 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 74 C 15. a K
