%0 Journal Article %T SOME MODELS OF DISSIPATIVE PROCESSES IN PHASE TRANSFORMATIONS ON A WIDE RANGE OF TEMPERATURES %A CONSTANTIN GHITA %J Journal of Science and Arts %D 2012 %I Bibliotheca Publishing House %X The phase transitions in solid materials (called solid-solid transformations) are connected with the thermo dynamical processes with hysteresis, leading to the dissipative models. Obvious, the liquid-solid transitions are governed by the reversible processes (without dissipation of internal energy). The analysis of a loop of hysteresis reveals some features about elastic-plastic properties, like the hardening. We give some retrospective results of these transformations along a temperature scale. %K elementary representative volume %K integral accumulation %K entropy/ entropy flux pair %K weak formulation of the Perrin principle %U http://www.icstm.ro/DOCS/josa/josa_2012_3/a_07_Constantin_Ghita.pdf
