Our time is characterized by an explosion of information and by an acceleration of
knowledge. A book cannot compete with the huge amount of data available on the Web …

We now apply thermodynamic principles to field theories with memory. For general
nonlinear, nonisothermal theories, we assume that a free energy is given, this being the …

Das vorliegende Buch ist die Frucht zwanzigjähriger Beschäftigung mit der Mechanik und
Thermodynamik großer Verformungen, zu der ich durch Vorlesungen von Prof. Dr.-Ing …

Constitutive relations of the general form, dB/dt= α¦ dH/dt¦[ƒ (H)− B]+(dH/dt) g (H), with ƒ and
g piecewise linear functions, appear to give a good description of rate-independent …

On The Concepts of State and Free Energy in Linear Viscoelasticity Page 1 On The Concepts
of State and Free Energy in Linear Viscoelasticity Dedicated to the memory of Ignace Kolodner …

We show here the impact on the initial-boundary value problem, and on the evolution of
viscoelastic systems of the use of a new definition of state based on the stress-response …

Thermodynamics and the Constitutive Relations for Second Sound in Crystals Bernard D …

In this article, a constitutive theory in the framework of continuum thermomechanics is
introduced to represent the viscoplastic behavior of metals at finite deformations. In …

A general closed expression is given for the isothermal minimum free energy of a linear
viscoelastic material in terms of Fourier-transformed quantities. A one-parameter family of …

The introduction of a format for thermoplasticity is given based on the quantities that are
measurable, at least principally. The important assumption is that of equal thermoelastic …
