In this paper, we introduce a new model for solid-liquid phase transitions triggered by Joule heating as they arise in the case of resistance welding of metal parts. The main novelties of the paper are the coupling of the thermistor problem with a phase-field model and the consideration of phase-dep

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
We present a mathematical model of impulse resistance welding. It accounts for electrical, thermal and mechanical effects, which are non‐linearly coupled by the balance laws, constitutive equations and boundary conditions. The electrical effects of the weld machine are incorporated by a discrete oscillator circuit which is coupled to the field equations by a boundary condition.
We prove the existence of weak solutions for a slightly simplified model which however still covers most of its essential features, e.g. the quadratic Joule heat term and a quadratic term due to non‐elastic energy dissipation.
We discuss the numerical implementation in a 2D setting, present some numerical results and conclude with some remarks on future research. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

In this article we study supercooling from a macroscopic point of view by modeling the evolution of a supercooled body from its liquid state to its solid state. A first model, which would be expected to have discontinuous solutions, is regularized by introducing an intrinsic viscous dissipation. By
