ASYMPTOTIC BEHAVIOR OF SOLUTIONS TO THE SYSTEM OF ONE DIMENSIONAL NONLINEAR THERMOVISCOELASTICITY
Ling Hsiao · 1998
The authors study the large-time behaviour of global smooth solutions to initial-boundary value problems for the system of one-dimensional nonlinear thermoviscoelasticity. It is found that the solution may possess phase transition phenomena when the material is not monotone, and the solution may decay to a stable state for the monotone case.
