TLDR
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.

The concept of physical metric in thermodynamics

K. C. Valanis
- 01 Mar 1995 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce a new geometric object, the physical metric, for the measurement of distance between material particles in the reference configuration, which is in fact a measure of nonaffine deformation and introduce the concept of the hypercontinuum which allows the existence of multiple velocities in a material neighborhood, thereby leading to a deformation field with multiple metrics.

A Strain-Based Formulation for the Coupled Viscoelastic/Damage Behavior

TL;DR: In this article, a strain-based thermodynamics framework is proposed for modeling the continuum damage behavior of viscoelastic materials, where damage is represented by an internal state variable in the form of a symmetric second rank tensor.

Elasto/viscoplastic constitutive equations with memory and internal variables

TL;DR: In this paper, a general elasto/viscoplastic constitutive equation of a material with memory and internal variables is proposed based on the concept of generalized simple body. And the proposed theory can describe not only such rate-dependent behaviours as primary and secondary creep, but also accelerating (teritary) creep, in which strain rate increases under constant stress.

Numerical and experimental investigation of out-of-plane fiber waviness on the mechanical properties of composite materials

TL;DR: In this paper, a non-linear 2D material model was implemented in ABAQUS and validated with extensive experimental test data from compression and tensile tests, which was recorded by a stereo camera system for digital image correlation to resolve damage initiation and propagation in detail.

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.
