Thermodynamic restrictions on linear reversible and irreversible thermo-electro-magneto-mechanical processes

A unified thermodynamic framework for the characterization of functional materials is developed. This framework encompasses linear reversible and irreversible processes with thermal, electrical, magnetic, and/or mechanical effects coupled. The comprehensive framework combines the principles of class...
