...Q. Yang; L. J. Xue; Y. R. Liu In this paper, the multiscale thermodynamic basis of the plastic potential theory is addressed within the irreversible thermodynamic framework with internal variables by Rice (1971, “Inelastic Constitutive Relations for Solids: An Internal Variable Theory and Its...

... of the normality structure and multiscale thermodynamic formulation still hold based on the Onsager fluxes. Linear irreversible thermodynamics or phenomenological equations along with the Onsager ( 12 ) reciprocal relations have provided access to both...

... irreversible thermodynamic theory for polymer composites with reaction and microstructural change under combined chemical, thermal, and mechanical loading. Proper microstructural modeling of the PMC is presented to ensure that reaction activities, thermal and mechanical responses of the matrix, fibers...
