Abstract: From a generalized Gibbs equation and a general form for entropy flux, we develop a non-linear theory for the thermodynamics of several rheological bodies, known as Kelvin bodies. In accordance with irreversible extended thermodynamics, we deduce a non-stationary transport equation which contains new cross effect terms; in so doing, we obtain a complete hyperbolic system which describes the evolution of the above bodies.
