In this paper, the authors study the thermodynamics of nonlinear materials with internal state variables whose temporal evolution is governed by ordinary differential equations, and employ a method developed by Coleman and Noll to find the general restrictions which the Clausius-Duhem inequality places on response functions.
Abstract
This is a study of the thermodynamics of nonlinear materials with internal state variables whose temporal evolution is governed by ordinary differential equations. After employing a method developed by Coleman and Noll to find the general restrictions which the Clausius—Duhem inequality places on response functions, we analyze various types of dynamical stability that can be exhibited by solutions of the internal evolution equations. We also discuss integral dissipation inequalities, conditions under which temperatures can be associated with internal states, and the forms taken by response functions when the material is a fluid.

An approach to the coupled behaviour of polymers subjected to a thermo-mechanical loading in a gaseous environment

TL;DR: In this article, a thermodynamic model for polymers under high temperature and strongly fluctuating gas pressure is presented, where the elementary volume is considered as a homogeneous non-reacting mixture of polymer and gas.

A thermomechanical model with microstructure evolution for aluminium alloy casting processes

TL;DR: In this paper, a thermomechanical-microstructural model for the analysis of aluminium alloy solidification processes is presented, which is defined in a finite strain thermoplasticity framework considering microstructure-based liquid-solid phase-change effects for the solidifying alloy.

Characterization of the mechanical behaviour of materials in the tensile test: experiments and simulation

TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental analysis and a numerical simulation of the mechanical behavior experienced during the tensile test by both cylindrical and strip specimens of different materials for which the classical so-called Bridgman's procedure aimed at predicting the stress distribution at the necking zone cannot be directly applied.

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.
