We prove the existence of weak solutions to a one‐dimensional initial‐boundary value problem for a model system of partial differential equations, which consists of a sub‐system of linear elasticity and a nonlinear non‐uniformly parabolic equation of second order. To simplify the existence proof of weak solutions in the 2006 paper of Alber and Zhu, we replace the function | p | κ : = | p | 2 / | p | 2 + κ 2in that work by | p | κ : = | p | 2 + κ 2. The model is formulated by using a sharp interface model for phase transformations that are driven by material forces. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
