Influence of Strain on the Kinetics of Phase Transitions in Solids
  We consider a sharp interface kinetic model of phase transitions accompanied by elastic strain, together with its phase-field realization. Quantitative results for the steady-state growth of a new phase in a strip geometry are obtained and different pattern formation processes in this system are investigated.
