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.

Quasi-linear versus potential-based formulations of force–flux relations and the GENERIC for irreversible processes: comparisons and examples

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the class of models formulated by quasi-linear relations is larger than what can be described in a potential-based formulation, while the relation between the two methods is shown in general terms, and demonstrated also with the help of three examples.

Fractional-order relaxation laws in non-linear viscoelasticity

TL;DR: In this paper, the stress is a nonlinear function of the current strain and of a set of internal variables satisfying relaxation equations of fractional order, and the dependence of the relaxation equations on the strain can also be nonlinear.

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.
