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.

A thermomechanical model for the analysis of light alloy solidification in a composite mould

TL;DR: In this article, a coupled thermomechanical model to simulate light alloy solidification problems in permanent composite moulds is presented, which is based on a general isotropic thermo-elasto-plasticity theory and considers the different thermomic behaviours of each component of the mould as well as those of the solidifying material during its evolution from liquid to solid.

Fatigue damage model of concrete materials

TL;DR: Based on the continuum damage mechanics theory of concrete materials under fatigue loading, a phenomenological fatigue damage model due to nuclei-propagation of microdefects, microvoids and fractal of rendered concrete in conjunction with more compliant are developed by utilizing internal variable theory of thermodynamics as discussed by the authors.

Formulation and Verification of a Concrete Model with Strong Coupling between Isotropic Damage and Elastoplasticity and Comparison to a Weak Coupling Model

TL;DR: In this paper, a new concrete model that strongly couples continuum-damage-mechanics to elastoplasticity is presented, which incorporates a plasticity yield criterion written in terms of the nominal/damaged, rather than effective, stress space.

Phase-field modeling of electromechanical fracture in piezoelectric solids: Analytical results and numerical simulations

TL;DR: In this paper, a length scale insensitive phase-field cohesive zone model (PF-CZM) was proposed for brittle fracture in linear piezoelectric solids, overcoming all the issues of mesh dependence, crack tracking complexity, length scale sensitivity and crack nucleation inconsistency.

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.
