A thermomechanical framework for constitutive models for rate-independent dissipative materials
A formulation of elastic-plastic theory for rate independent materials is described, based on the use of thermodynamic potentials. The four energy functions commonly used in thermodynamics (internal energy, Helmholtz free energy, enthalpy and Gibbs free energy) are used to provide descriptions depen...
