Some structural theorems for inelastic solids : an internal variable approach.

Includes bibliographical references. === The theory of inelastic solids involving thermodynamic potential functions with internal variables is reviewed. Use is made of the condition for stable thermodynamic equilibrium in order to obtain dual minimum principles for the equilibrium state of a solid i...
