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.

Continuum physics of phase and defect microstructures: bridging the gap between physical metallurgy and plasticity of aluminum alloys

TL;DR: A survey of recent developments in this direction is presented in this article, where similar conceptual problems arising both in plasticity theory and in classical thermodynamics are analyzed, which can be traced to the absence of characteristic length scales in the corresponding phenomenological formalisms.

Concurrent multi-scale crush simulations with a crystal plasticity model

TL;DR: In this article, the texture generated by deforming a single element model with an embedded polycrystalline aggregate of face center cubic (FCC) crystals under basic loading paths, including uniaxial tension and simple shear, is used at each integration point in the explicit crush simulations of a square tube model made of an FCC aluminum alloy.

Surface effects, boundary conditions and evolution laws within second strain gradient plasticity

TL;DR: In this article, the virtual power (PVP) is used in conjunction with the concepts of energy residual and insulation condition to address second strain gradient plasticity, where the energy residual with its typical divergence format is an extra stress power playing the role of basic state variable to describe the gradient effects, whereas the insulation condition constitutes a global energy characterization of the body.

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.
