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 …

Some of the most significant research published in the last 15-20 years in the field of
continuum thermodynamics is reviewed. The construction of simple models of rigorous …

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 …

Research in the past thirty years on the foundations of thermodynamics has led not only to a
better understanding of the early developments of the subject but also to formulations of the …

A good many times I have been present at gatherings of people who, by the standards of
traditional culture, are thought highly educated and who have with considerable gusto been …

Although thermodynamics is no longer a young subject, its most elementary results remain
under critical scrutiny. That this should be so can perhaps be attributed to the fact that ideas …

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 …

A strong coupling between the field theory of dislocation mechanics and heat conduction is
proposed. The novel model, called the Thermal Field Dislocation Mechanics (T-FDM) model …

The aim of this paper is to examine the possibility of a model of non-local inelasticity on
thermodynamic grounds in the absence of higher-order stresses or additional kinematic …
