Chapter Chapter 1 in Thermodynamics of Materials with Memory, 2012, pp 7-42 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In this initial chapter, we introduce various fundamentals: description of deformation, definition and interpretation of the strain and stress tensors, balance laws, and general restrictions on constitutive equations. These provide the foundation for later developments.
