Generalized Hamilton’s Principle for Inelastic Bodies Within Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics

Generalized Hamilton’s Principle for Inelastic Bodies Within Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics

Within the thermodynamic framework with internal variables, the classical Hamilton’s principle for elastic bodies is extended to inelastic bodies composed of materials whose free energy densities are point functions of internal variables, or the so‑termed Green-inelastic bodies, subject to finite de...
