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 Inelastic Damage Model for Fiber Reinforced Laminates

TL;DR: In this article, a model for the damage behavior of polymer matrix composite laminates is presented, which predicts the inelastic effects as reduction of stiffness and increments of damage and unrecoverable deformation.

A computational framework of three-dimensional configurational-force-driven brittle crack propagation

TL;DR: In this paper, a variational formulation of quasi-static brittle fracture and a new finite element-based computational framework for propagation of cracks in three-dimensional bodies is proposed. But the authors do not consider the dynamics of crack propagation in elastic solids.

An internal state variable material model for predicting the time, thermomechanical, and stress state dependence of amorphous glassy polymers under large deformation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a complete theoretical accounting of the thermomechanical coupling within a viscoplastic model to predict the time, temperature, and stress state dependent mechanical behavior of amorphous glassy polymers.

Validation of a model for static and dynamic recrystallization in metals

TL;DR: In this paper, modifications are proposed to a phenomenological plasticity model to account for the evolution of recrystallization and the resultant softening behavior, which includes internal state variables representing dislocation density and the spacing between geometrically necessary subgrain boundaries.

Non-local separation constitutive laws for interfaces and their relation to nanoscale simulations

TL;DR: In this paper, a conceptual framework is proposed to characterize fracture through continuum interface separation constitutive laws that are motivated by molecular dynamics simulations using embedded-atom method potentials, which are distinguished from previous continuum models in that discrete atomistics are used to determine a set of nanoscale effects, accounting for the influence of atomic structure and imperfections on interface separation or fracture.

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.
