Abstract: The asymptotic behaviour for $t \to\infty$ of the solutions to a one-dimensional model for thermo-visco-plastic behaviour is investigated in this paper. The model consists of a coupled system of nonlinear partial differential equations, representing the equation of motion, the balance of the internal energy, and a phase evolution equation, determining the evolution of a phase variable. The phase evolution equation can be used to deal with relaxation processes. Rate-independent hysteresis effects in the strain-stress law and also in the phase evolution equation are described by using the mathematical theory of hysteresis operators.

Keywords: phase-field system, phase transition, hysteresis operator, thermo-visco-plasticity, asymptotic behaviour
