TLDR
In this paper, a phenomenological theory for the diffusion of a dilute solution of a gas in a thermoelastic solid is proposed, where the thermomechanical behavior of the solid is assumed to be unaffected by the presence of the gas.
Abstract
A phenomenological theory is proposed for the diffusion of a dilute solution of a gas in a thermoelastic solid. It is assumed that the thermomechanical behavior of the solid is unaffected by the presence of the gas. On the other hand the presence of the solid is recognized by the gas by letting certain thermomechanical variables of the solid to enter into the constitutive equations of the gas. The constitutive functionals of the gas are restricted by the principles of continuum physics. These principles are currently referred to as equipresence, material objectivity, entropy production inequality, as well as the balance equations of mass, linear and angular momentum and internal energy. By this approach, axiomatic statements on the existence of equations of state are avoided and the classical results of linear irreversible thermodynamics are obtained by further specialization of the proposed theory.

The Thermodynamics of Elastic Materials with Heat Conduction and Viscosity

TL;DR: The basic physical concepts of classical continuum mechanics are body, configuration of a body, and force system acting on a body as mentioned in this paper, which can be expressed as follows: a body is regarded as a smooth manifold whose elements are the material points; a configuration is defined as a mapping of the body into a three-dimensional Euclidean space, and a force system is defined to be a vector-valued function defined for pairs of bodies.
