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.

Characterisation of a polymer using biaxial tension tests. Part I: Hyperelasticity

TL;DR: The focus of the work lies on the detailed description of a new experimental set-up and the adaptation of the material model and the performance of models fitted to experimental data of uniaxial tests is compared to the adjustment of the models to data from biaXial tests.

A simple theory of plasticity

TL;DR: In this paper, an internal variable model of rate-independent plastic behavior based on loading-unloading irreversibility is proposed, which assumes no yield or loading function, stability postulate or specific nature of the internal variables.

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.
