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 multiscale analysis of fixed-end simple shear using molecular dynamics, crystal plasticity, and a macroscopic internal state variable theory

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined FCC nickel undergoing simple shear by using three different numerical frameworks formulated at three different size scales, including embedded atom method potentials used in molecular dynamics simulations, crystal plasticity used in finite element simulations, and a macroscale internal state variable formulation used in infinite element simulations.

A general inelastic internal state variable model for amorphous glassy polymers

TL;DR: Anand et al. as mentioned in this paper presented a constitutive model for amorphous thermoplastics using a thermodynamic approach with physically motivated internal state variables, which can capture the complex character of the stress-strain behavior of polymers for a range of strain rates.

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.
