Minisymposium description:
------------------------- 

The scope of the mini-symposium is to present and discuss recent developments on solid-solid 
phase transitions of monocrystalline and polycrystalline alloys with various applications in 
medicine and technology. Advanced research results on the physical properties, using macro- 
and micro-scales, and the related mathematical models with their solution attributes together 
with suitable numerical methods are welcome. Verification of mathematical models by 
error-controlled adaptivity and validation of those models by relevant physical experimental 
data are of particular interest.

Keywords: monocrystalline and polycrystalline alloys, linear and nonlinear kinematics, 
deterministic and statistical homogenizations of meso- and micro-scales, convexification, 
integration in time and space, solution algorithms, superelastic and quasi-plastic shape memory 
effects, transformation-induced plasticity
