The cubic phase is idealized by an isotropic formulation, and the tetragonal phase is idealized by a transversely isotropic formulation. We consider a classical phase-field model with Ginzburg-Landau-type evolution of the order parameter. The order parameter drives the transition of all involved moduli tensors such as elastic, dielectric and piezoelectric moduli, which in turn maintain their typical features and stability as a result of a selected phase-transition function. The model is described in coordinate-invariant form and implemented into a finite element framework with implicit time integration of the evolution equation. Representative numerical examples in two and three dimensions demonstrate the main features of the constitutive model and the numerical stability of the formulation.}, language = {en} }
