This paper deals with error estimates for space-time discretizations in the context of evolutionary variational inequalities of rate-independent type. After introducing a general abstract evolution problem, we address a fully discrete approximation and provide a priori error estimates. The application of the abstract theory to a semilinear case is detailed. In particular, we provide explicit space-time convergence rates for classical strain gradient plasticity and the isothermal Souza-Auricchio…

We derive quasi-optimal error bounds for implicit discretizations of a class of rate-independent evolution problems. No regularity assumptions on the exact solutions are made, but involved load…
A-priori error analysis of local incremental minimization schemes for rate-independent evolutions
TLDR
A priori error estimates for the local incremental minimization scheme, which is an implicit time discretization method for the approximation of rate-independent systems with non-convex energies, are derived.
Finite element discretization of local minimization schemes for rate-independent evolutions
TLDR
It is shown that accumulation points of the sequence of discrete solutions for mesh size tending to zero exist and are so-called parametrized solutions of the continuous problem, and the local minimization scheme applied is known to resolve time discontinuities, which may show up due to the non-convex energy.

TLDR
This work revisits the model for a two-well phase transformation in a linearly elastic body and uses a new approach based on mutual recovery sequences, which are adjusted to a suitable energy increment plus the associated dissipated energy and enable it to pass to the limit in the construction of energetic solutions.
Existence and time-discretization for the finite-strain Souza–Auricchio constitutive model for shape-memory alloys
We prove the global existence of solutions for a shape-memory alloys constitutive model at finite strains. The model has been presented in Evangelista et al. (Int J Numer Methods Eng 81(6):761–785,…

Convergence of approximations to the primal problem in plasticity under conditions of minimal regularity

Strong convergence of time-discrete as well as spatially and fully discrete approximations to the primal problem in elastoplasticity is established without making any assumptions of regularity over and above those established in the proof of well-posedness of this problem.
