On the role of the second law of thermodynamics in mechanics of materials

P.M. Naghdi

Energy, 1980, vol. 5, issue 8, 771-781

Abstract: This paper summarizes the recent work of Green and Naghdi1,2 concerning the thermomechanics of dissipative materials. The main features are: 1.(a) the introduction of a conservation law for entropy which holds for all materials,2.(b) the use of the energy equation as an identity for all processes, thereby leading to restrictions on constitutive equations, and3.(c) the development of an inequality representing a mathematical interpretation of a statement of the second law of thermodynamics.
