The essential postulates of classical thermodynamics are formulated, from which the second
law is deduced as the principle of increase of entropy in irreversible adiabatic processes that …

In the first part linear viscoelasticity is re-investigated so as to emphasize the dependence
on frequency domain of the constitutive relation. Accordingly, this approach allows to …

A numerical model for analysing unreinforced and fiber-reinforced masonry arches is
presented. It is based on a constitutive equation formulated for one-dimensional masonry …

It is my purpose to formulate the laws of classical thermodynamics in a clear and precise
way, sufficiently general to include not only traditional applications to reversible and quasi …

The investigation is concerned with a precise statement of the Second Law which does not
presuppose the existence of entropy or absolute temperature and employs only'approximate …

Electromagnetic systems are considered which model undeformable continuous bodies
subject to electromagnetic fields. The principles of thermodynamics are established and the …

A new approach is developed for the thermodynamics of electromagnetic materials with
memory by viewing them as dynamical systems. Though results are also derived for …

The subject of this article is the thermodynamics of perfect elastic-plastic materials
undergoing unidimensional, but not necessarily isothermal, deformations. The first and …

A condition equivalent to the existence of the absolute temperature scale satisfying the
Clausius inequality is exhibited. The condition is close to the classical statements of the …

Explicit expressions for minimum, maximum, and intermediate free energies have recently
been given for isothermal linear theories. In this paper, these results are generalized to a …
