Thermodynamics of non-simple elastic materials

چکیده
Elastic materials whose local state depends upon the first and second order gradients of the deformation, the temperature, its gradient and the time rate of change of the temperature are studied according to an inequality proposed by Green and Laws. It is shown that in such materials either thermal disturbances can propagate with finite speed in the linear theory, and the constitutive quantities do not depend upon the second order gradients of the deformation or the constitutive quantities may depend upon the second order gradients of the deformation and in the linear theory thermal disturbances do not propagate with finite speed. In the latter case the entropy inequality reduces to the Clausius-Duhem inequality.

On granular elasticity
Mesoscopic structures form in dense granular materials due to the self-organisation of the constituent particles. These structures have internal structural degrees of freedom in addition to the translational degree of freedom. The resultant granular elasticity, which exhibits intrinsic variations and inevitable relaxation, is a key quantity that accounts for macroscopic solid- or fluid-like pro...

This thesis is a theoretical exploration of properties of multilayered and multicomponent nitride alloys, in particular their mixing thermodynamics and elastic behaviors. Systematic investigation of properties of a large class of materials, such as the multicomponent nitride solid solutions, is in line with the modern approach of high-throughput search of novel materials. In this thesis we benc...
متن کاملObtaining Laws of Thermodynamics for Ideal Gases Using Elastic Collisions
The purpose of this note is to see to what extent ideal gas laws can be obtained from simple Newtonian mechanics, specifically elastic collisions. We present simple one-dimensional situations that seem to validate the laws. The first section describes a numerical simulation that demonstrates the second law of thermodynamics. The second section mathematically demonstrates the adiabatic law of ex...

Abstract. Unified geometric approach to describing kinematics of elastic and plastic deformations of continuous media is suggested. On the base of this approach we study mechanical deformations, viscous flow, and heat transport in glassy plastic media. As a result we derive appropriate differential equations for these phenomena in a form applicable to liquids, elastic solids, and to plastic sol...
