Thermodynamic equations for a solid and a solid continuum under stress are derived on the basis of a multicomponent mean field Markov process for thermofluctuation kinetics of microcracks. The resulting continuum is viscous elastoplastic…
There is a common view in thermodynamics that the behavior of a macroscopic system can be described by only a few state variables. Although this is true for many cases, it is unclear whether it is meaningful to ask how many state variables…
Thermodynamic principles are often deceptively simple and yet surprisingly powerful. We show how a simple rule, such as the net flow of energy in and out of a moving atom under nonequilibrium steady state condition, can expose the…
