Abstract
Martensitic crystals which can undergo a cubic to tetragonal phase transformation have a nonconvex energy density with three symmetry-related, rotationally invariant energy wells. We give estimates for the numerical approximation of a first-order laminate for such martensitic crystals. We give bounds for the L2 convergence of directional derivatives in the "twin" plane, for the L2 convergence of the deformation, for the weak convergence of the deformation gradient, for the convergence of the microstructure, and for the convergence of nonlinear integrals of the deformation gradient.
