Solid phase transitions in the liquid limit
Abstrak
We address the fundamental difference between solid-solid and liquid-liquid phase transitions within the Ericksen's nonlinear elasticity paradigm. To highlight ideas, we consider the simplest nontrivial 2D problem and work with a prototypical two-phase Hadamard material which allows one to weaken the rigidity and explore the nature of solid-solid phase transitions in a ``near-liquid'' limit. In the language of calculus of variations we probe limits of quasiconvexity in an ``almost liquid'' solid by comparing the thresholds for cooperative (laminate based) and non-cooperative (inclusion based) nucleation. Using these two types of nucleation tests we obtain for our model material surprisingly tight two-sided bounds on the elastic binodal without directly computing the quasiconvex envelope.
