Abstract
In this paper we discuss a new model to the problem of phase transformations. This model provides a modification of Maxwell's rate-type constitutive equation [1], by incorporating higher order straingradients in the relaxation function. Thermodynamical aspects and the compatibility with the unmodified Clausius-Duhem inequality are discussed. Numerical results show that the model is able to describe the creation and propagation of regular patterns of martensitic and austenitic stripes during stress-induced phase transitions in shape memory single crystals.
