Abstract

A conceptual numerical strategy for rate-independent processes in the energetic formulation is proposed and its convergence is proved under various rather mild data qualifications. The novelty is that we obtain convergence ofsubsequences of space-time discretizations even in case where the limitproblem does not have a unique solution and we need noadditional assumptions on higher regularity of the limit solution.The variety of general perspectives thus obtained is illustrated on several specific examples: plasticity with isotropic hardening, damage, debonding, magnetostriction, and two models of martensitic transformation in shape-memory alloys.
