Abstract

We consider a fully practical finite element approximation of the degenerate Cahn-Hilliard equation with elasticity: Find the conserved order parameter, theta(x, t) is an element of [-1, 1], and the displacement field, (u) under bar (x, t) is an element of R-2, such that [GRAPHICS] subject to an initial condition theta(0)(center dot) is an element of [-1, 1] on theta and boundary conditions on both equations. Here gamma is an element of R->0 is the interfacial parameter, Psi is a non-smooth double well potential, (epsilon) double under bar is the symmetric strain tensor, C is the possibly anisotropic elasticity tensor, c(s) := c(0) + 1/2 (1 - c(0)) (1 + s) with c(0)(gamma) is an element of R->0 and b(s) := 1 - s(2) is the degenerate diffusional mobility. In addition to showing stability bounds for our approximation, we prove convergence, and hence existence of a solution to this nonlinear degenerate parabolic system in two space dimensions. Finally, some numerical experiments are presented.
