Abstract

Viscoelastic solids in Kelvin-Voigt rheology at small strains exhibiting also stress-driven Prandtl-Reuss perfect plasticity are considered quasistatic (i.e. inertia neglected) and coupled with heat-transfer equation through dissipative heat production by viscoplastic effects and through thermal expansion and corresponding adiabatic effects. Enthalpy transformation is used and existence of a weak solution is proved by an implicit suitably regularized time discretisation.
