Abstract
We propose a model for phase transformations that are driven by changes in the temperature. We consider the temperature as a prescribed quantity like an applied load. The model is based on the energetic formulation for rate-independent systems and thus allows for finite-strain elasticity. Time-dependent Dirichlet boundary conditions can be treated by decomposing the deformation as a composition of a given deformation satisfying the time-dependent boundary conditions and a part coinciding with the identity on the Dirichlet boundary.
