The conceptual problems arising in the definition and measurement of temperature in non-
equilibrium states are discussed in this paper in situations where the local-equilibrium …

We present a review of the results in the field of discrete thermomechanics that have been
achieved in the Institute for Problems in Mechanical Engineering RAS over the past decade …

The molecular dynamics (MD) method is applied to study the internal structure of strong
steady shock waves in a Lennard-Jones crystal. We develop two different approaches to MD …

We study transient thermal processes in infinite harmonic crystals having a unit cell with an
arbitrary number of particles. Initially, particles have zero displacements and random …

Nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) computer simulations of steady shockwaves in
dense fluids and rarefied gases produce detailed shockwave profiles of mechanical and …

Shock waves and high-energy particle radiation can each drive materials far from
thermodynamic equilibrium and enable novel scenarios in the processing of materials. A …

We use the Navier-Stokes-Fourier constitutive equations to study plane shock waves in
dilute gases. It is shown that the experimental information on the normalized density profiles …

This paper is devoted to a discussion of the profiles of shock waves using the full nonlinear
Burnett equations of hydrodynamics as they appear from the Chapman-Enskog solution to …

Several continuum theories for shock waves give rise to a set of differential equations in
which the analysis of the underlying vector field can be done using the tools of the theory of …

In this work we study the effect caused by the so called Holian conjecture (HC) on the
rarefied gases shock-wave structure under the continuum approach. This conjecture which …
