On Spatial Covariance, Second Law of Thermodynamics and Configurational Forces in Continua
This paper studies the transformation properties of the spatial balance of energy equation for a dissipative material, under the superposition of arbitrary spatial diffeomorphisms. The study reveals that for a dissipative material the transformed energy balance equation has some non-standard terms i...
