Abstract : Multiphase dynamical systems coupled with finite strain are used for the mathematical description of many phenomena in soft matter physics and biology, such as swelling and wetting processes of gels. We derive a thermodynamically consistent framework to couple phase fields and mechanics in a gradient flow structure allowing for various dissipation mechanisms. Combining modeling tools, rigorous analytical considerations, and the construction of numerical implementations allows us to understand practical and technical details from different perspectives.
