Abstract

Continuum-type constitutive relations of odd matter need to be formulated according to the second law of thermodynamics. Based on the primitive thermodynamics of Edelen, a procedure admitting most general relations, is outlined for heat-conducting fluids and solids. For viscous responses of odd matter, the theory accounts for the irreversible and non-dissipative forces, besides the hyperdissipative ones. For quasi-static responses, the theory grasps the elastic and non-conservative forces besides those derivable from the free energy, this being the realm of Cauchy elasticity beyond hyperelasticity. In Cosserat-type odd matter, primitive thermodynamics also accounts for curvature-torsion and couple-stress besides, respectively, deformation and force-stress tensors. In both, classical and micropolar cases, the theory grasps all possible couplings between the thermodynamic velocity and force vectors, along with a full range of anisotropies of hyperdissipative and hyperelastic responses (both linear and nonlinear).
