Both statistical phase space (SPS), which is $\Gamma = T^*\mathbb R^{3N}$ of $N$-body particle system, and kinetic theory phase space (KTPS), which is the cotangent bundle $T^*\mathcal P(\Gamma)$ of the probability space $\mathcal…
We develop a geometric theory of phase transitions (PTs) for Hamiltonian systems in the microcanonical ensemble. This theory allows to reformulate Bachmann's classification of PTs for finite-size systems in terms of geometric properties of…
Motivated by the notion that the mathematics of gravity can be reproduced from a statistical requirement of maximal entropy, we study the consequence of introducing an entropic source term in the Einstein-Hilbert action. For a spatially…
Since the 1970s contact geometry has been recognized as an appropriate framework for the geometric formulation of the state properties of thermodynamic systems, without, however, addressing the formulation of non-equilibrium thermodynamic…
Entropy is a fundamental concept from Thermodynamics and it can be used to study models on context of Creation Cold Dark Matter (CCDM). From conditions on the first ($\dot{S}\geq0$)\footnote{Throughout the present work we will use dots to…

On the basis of the balance equations for energy-momentum, spin, particle and entropy density, an approach is considered which represents a comparatively general framework for special- and general-relativistic continuum thermodynamics. In…
Various soft materials share some common features, such as significant entropic effect, large fluctuations, sensitivity to thermodynamic conditions, and mesoscopic characteristic spatial and temporal scales. However, no quantitative…
In thermodynamics a macroscopic state of a system results from a number of its microscopic states. This number is given by the exponent of the system's entropy $\exp(S)$. In non-interacting systems with discrete energy spectra, such as…
This study uses continuum thermodynamics of pure thermoelastic fluids to examine their phase transformation. To examine phase transformation kinetics, a special emphasis is placed on the jump condition for the axiom of entropy inequality,…
Traditionally, phase transitions are defined in the thermodynamic limit only. We propose a new formulation of equilibrium thermo-dynamics that is based entirely on mechanics and reflects just the {\em geometry and topology} of the N-body…

In this paper we study some aspects of thermodynamic formalism, more specifically topological pressure and, as a consequence, topological entropy for piecewise smooth vector fields, using topological conjugation with shift maps and the…
The maximum entropy principle (MEP) is one of the most prominent methods to investigate and model complex systems. Despite its popularity, the standard form of the MEP can only generate Boltzmann-Gibbs distributions, which are ill-suited…
The Finite element method (FEM) has long served as the computational backbone for topology optimization (TO). However, for designing structures undergoing large deformations, conventional FEM-based TO often exhibits numerical instabilities…
Matter agglomeration mesoscopic phenomena of irreversible type are well described by nonequilibrium thermodynamics formalism. The description assumes that the thermodynamic (internal) state variables are in local equilibrium, and uses the…
