Irreversible thermodynamics and variational principles with applications to viscoelasticity
A unified theory of the thermo-mechanical behavior of viscoelastic media is developed from studying the thermodynamics of irreversible processes, and includes discussions of the general equations of motion, crack propagation, variational principles, and approximate methods of stress analysis. Th...
