Microstructures in phase-transitions of alloys are modeled by the
energy minimization of a nonconvex energy density ϕ. Their
time-evolution leads to a nonlinear wave equation
$u_{tt}=\mbox{div}\:S(Du)$ with the non-monotone stress-strain relation $S=D\phi$
plus proper boundary and initial conditions. This hyperbolic-elliptic
initial-boundary value problem of changing types allows, in general,
solely Young-measure solutions. This paper introduces a
fully-numerical time-space discretization of this equation in a
corresponding very weak sense. It is shown that discrete solutions
exist and generate weakly convergent subsequences whose limit is
a Young-measure solution. Numerical examples in one space
dimension illustrate the time-evolving phase transitions and microstructures of a nonlinearly
vibrating string.
