Abstract: In this paper, two subspaces of the state space of constrained equilibrium states for solids are proposed and addressed. One subspace, constrained affinity space, is conjugate-force space with ...

Abstract: In this paper, the multiscale thermodynamic basis of the plastic potential theory is addressed within the irreversible thermodynamic framework with internal variables by (1971, “ Inelastic ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with infinitesimally constrained equilibrium states, which are nonequilibrium states and infinitesimally close to equilibrium states. The corresponding thermodynamics is ...
