6.1 Thermomechanical Processes
A thermomechanical process is characterized by its velocity field \({\mathbf {v}}\) and its absolute temperature field \(\theta \)
the position of a material point \({\mathbf {x}}\) is determined by integrating the equation
and the velocity gradient \({\mathbf {L}}\), rate of deformation tensor \({\mathbf {D}}\) and temperature gradient \({\mathbf {g}}\) are defined by
These quantities are defined at every material point in the material region P and on its closed boundary \({\partial }P\).
Within the context of the thermomechanical theory proposed by Green and Naghdi [7, 8], in addition to the current mass density \(\rho \), the specific (per unit mass) body force \({\mathbf {b}}\), the Cauchy stress \({\mathbf {T}}\), the unit outward normal \({\mathbf {n}}\) to \({\partial }P\) and the traction vector \({\mathbf {t}}= {\mathbf {T}}{\mathbf {n}}\) per unit current area on \({\partial }P\), it is necessary to introduce the specific entropy \(\eta \), the specific external rate of entropy supply s, the specific internal rate of entropy production \(\xi \), the specific internal energy \({\varepsilon }\), the specific external rate of energy supply r on P and the entropy flux \({\mathbf {p}}\) and energy flux \({\mathbf {q}}\) vectors, both per unit present area on \({\partial }P\).
The external fields
need to be specified and constitutive equations must be provided for the response functions
with r and \({\mathbf {q}}\) determined by
6.2 Balance Laws for the Thermomechanical Theory
Within the context of the thermomechanical theory proposed by Green and Naghdi [7, 8] the current mass density \(\rho \), the current position \({\mathbf {x}}\) of a material point and the absolute temperature \(\theta \) are determined by the global forms of the conservation of mass and the balances of linear momentum and entropy
The minus sign appears before the integral over the entropy flux because \({\mathbf {p}}\cdot {\mathbf {n}}\) is the rate of entropy expelled by the body through its surface. The global form of the balance of angular momentum is given by
and the balance of energy (i.e., the first law of thermodynamics) takes the form
In words, the first law of thermodynamics states that the rate of change of the total internal energy \({\mathcal {E}}\) plus the rate of change of the total kinetic energy \({\mathcal {K}}\) is balanced by the total rate of work \({\mathcal {W}}\) done on the body and total rate of heat \({\mathcal {H}}\) supplied to the body, which indicates the equivalence of thermal and mechanical supplies of energy. Specifically, these quantities are defined by
Using standard continuity conditions, the local forms of the conservation of mass and balances of linear momentum and entropy are given by
Also, using these balance laws, the reduced local form of the balance of angular momentum requires the Cauchy stress \({\mathbf {T}}\) to be symmetric
and the reduced local form of the balance of energy requires
Next, multiplying the balance of entropy in (6.2.5) by \(\theta \) and using the expressions (6.1.6) it can be shown that
Also, the internal rate of entropy production is separated into two parts [17]: a thermal part \(- {\mathbf {p}}\cdot {\mathbf {g}}\) due to heat conduction and another part \(\rho \theta \xi ^{\prime }\) due to the rate of material dissipation
so that the external rate of energy supply can be written in the form
In addition, the specific Helmholtz free energy \(\psi \) is defined by
and the balance of energy (6.2.7) yields a constitutive equation for the rate of material dissipation \(\rho \theta \xi ^{\prime }\)
where use has been made of (6.2.10).
In this formulation of thermomechanics, \(\rho , {\mathbf {x}}\) and \(\theta \) are determined by the conservation of mass and the balances of linear momentum and entropy (6.2.5) and the balances of angular momentum and energy place restrictions on the constitutive equations which ensure that they are identically satisfied for all thermomechanical processes. Specifically, the reduced form of the balance of angular momentum (6.2.6) requires the Cauchy stress \({\mathbf {T}}\) to be symmetric and the reduced form of the balance of energy (6.2.12) determines a constitutive equation for the rate of material dissipation \(\rho \theta \xi ^{\prime }\).
6.3 Second Laws of Thermomechanics
Observations indicate that thermomechanical processes progress is specific directions. For example, consider a body which is isolated with no rates of external work and heat supply
Then, the global form (6.2.3) of the first law of thermodynamics indicates that an isolated body preserves total energy
Next, consider a body that is made from a homogeneous material which is in a zero-stress uniform material state at rest. In the absence of external forces and with no heat supply through its boundary, the body is heated by an external rate of energy supply to obtain an inhomogeneous temperature field in the body at rest. Then, in the absence of external forces and further external heat supply, the total energy would remain constant even if part of the body became hotter and another part of it became colder. However, observations indicate that this does not happen naturally. Instead, the body tends to reach a uniform temperature. Notions of entropy model the observed directions of thermomechanical processes.
Clausius–Duhem Inequality
In the classical approach to continuum thermomechanics proposed by Coleman and Noll [5], the conservation of mass and the balances of linear momentum, angular momentum and energy are supplimented by the Clausius–Duhem inequality
which is a statement of the second law of thermodynamics that thermomechanical processes cause the internal rate of entropy production to have a tendency to increase. Using standard continuity conditions, the local form of the conservation of mass and the definitions (6.1.3) and (6.1.6), the local form of (6.3.3) requires
Moreover, with the help of the balance of energy (6.2.7) and the definition (6.2.11) of the Helmholtz free energy \(\psi \), the Clausius–Duhem inequality requires
which places restrictions on constitutive equations.
Green–Naghdi Formulation
In the classical approach to thermomechanics, the Clausius–Duhem inequalty (6.3.5) is a single statement of the second law of thermodynamics that places restrictions on the constitutive equations. In contrast, the Green and Naghdi formulation places restrictions on the constitutive equations by requiring the reduced forms of the balance of angular momentum (6.2.6) and the balance of energy (6.2.7) to be satisfied identically, without any statement of the second law of thermodynamics.
To compare the two approaches to thermomechanics, use is made of the separation (6.2.9) and the constitutive Eq. (6.2.12) to rewrite the Clausius–Duhem inequality (6.3.4) in the form
which requires the total internal rate of entropy production to be non-negative. However, the Green–Naghdi formulation allows for proposing different statements of the second law of thermodynmaics, as was discussed in [8].
Heat Flows From Hot to Cold Regions
One statement of the second law of thermodynamics is that heat flows from hot to cold regions
This indicates that the thermal part of the internal rate of entropy production in the separation (6.2.9) is non-negative.
Rate of Material Dissipation
To motivate a second statement of the second law of thermodynamics, it is noted from (6.1.6) and (6.2.10) that the rate of heat expelled by the body is given by
For general thermomechanical processes heat can be supplied or expelled. However, the notions of friction and viscous effects in fluids indicate that the rate of material dissipation causes a tendency for heat to be expelled by the body. Noting that positive values of \(\rho \theta \xi ^{\prime }\) cause a tendency for heat to be expelled by the body, this second statement of the second law of thermodynamics requires the rate of material dissipation to be non-negative
Although the two statements (6.3.7) and (6.3.9) combined are consistent with the Clausius–Duhem inequality (6.3.6), this latter single statement of the second law of thermodynamics does not demand that (6.3.7) and (6.3.9) be satisfied individually, as in the Green–Naghdi formulation.
6.4 Invariance Under Superposed Rigid Body Motions (SRBM)
Although temperature \(\theta \) is not a kinematic variable, it is an independent variable like the position vector \({\mathbf {x}}\) which needs to be determined by the balance laws, boundary and initial conditions. Consequently, in addition to the kinematic conditions (3.8.13) and (3.8.16)
it is proposed that \(\theta \) remains unaltered under SRBM
This means that the temperature gradient \({\mathbf {g}}\) transforms to \({\mathbf {g}}^+\), such that
Section 4.7 introduced the notion of invariance under SRBM which is based on the two restrictions
The first restriction (R-1) in (6.4.4a) requires the global forms of the balance laws to be form-invariant in the superposed configuration \(P^+\) with all independent and kinetic quantities taking their superposed values in \(P^+\). Using the transformation relations (4.7.21)
the conservation of mass, the balance of linear momentum (6.2.1) and the balance of angular momentum (6.2.2) are already form-invariant under SRBM. Consequently, within the context of the thermomechanical theory, the physical restriction (R-1) in (6.4.4a) requires the balance of entropy in (6.2.1) and the balance of energy (6.2.3) to remain form-invariant under SRBM
with the specifications
Using standard continuity arguments the local form the of the balance of entropy (6.4.6a) requires
and the local form of the balance of energy (6.4.6b) requires
Then, using form-invariance of the local forms of the conservation of mass and the balances of linear and angular momentum, the local form of the balance of entropy requires
and the local form of the balance of energy requires
Now, with the help of (2.5.4) and (6.4.1) it can be shown that
Next, using the invariance of \(\rho \) in (6.4.5), the balance of entropy (6.4.10) can be solved for \(s^+\) to obtain
Moreover, using the local balance of entropy in (6.2.5) it can be shown that
In this regard, it is noted that the restriction (R-1) tacitly assumes that the balance of entropy is valid for any specified external rate of entropy supply. Consequently, it is also valid for (6.4.14), which enforces SRBM.
To compete the restrictions for invariance under SRBM it is necessary to determine expressions for
This requires use of the physical restriction (R-2) (6.4.4b) and recognition that in addition to the stress \({\mathbf {T}}\), the quantities \(\eta , \xi , {\varepsilon }\) and \({\mathbf {p}}\) characterize the material response for thermomechanical processes. This means that \(\eta , \xi \) and \({\varepsilon }\), which do not depend on the orientation of the material, must be uninfluenced by SRBM
Moreover, the response due to the entropy flux vector relative to the orientation of the material will be the same if the restriction
is valid for all material points, all unit normals \({\mathbf {n}}\) and all SRBM. Now, using the kinematic result (3.8.20) that \({\mathbf {n}}\) rotates under SRBM
the expression (6.4.17) for the entropy flux vector can be rewritten in the form
Then, since the coefficient of \({\mathbf {n}}^+\) in this equation is independent of \({\mathbf {n}}^+\), and \({\mathbf {n}}^+\) is an arbitrary unit vector, the entropy flux vector \({\mathbf {p}}\) and heat flux vector \({\mathbf {q}}\) defined in (6.1.6) must satisfy the transformation relations
This means that with the help of (6.4.16), the restriction (6.4.14) requires the external rate of entropy supply s and the external rate of heat supply r defined in (6.1.6) to be unaffected by SRBM
In summary, under superposed rigid body motions SRBM the thermomechanical quantities \(\theta , {\mathbf {g}}, \eta , {\varepsilon }, \psi , s, r , \xi , \xi ', {\mathbf {p}}\) and \({\mathbf {q}}\) transform to \(\theta ^+, {\mathbf {g}}^+, \eta ^+, {\varepsilon }^+, \psi ^+, s^+, r^+,\) \(\xi ^+ ,\xi '^+, {\mathbf {p}}^+\) and \( {\mathbf {q}}^+\), such that
6.5 Thermal Constraints
In general, it is possible to propose coupled thermomechanical constraints but such coupled constraints make it difficult to satisfy the forms (6.3.7) and (6.3.9) of the second law of thermodynamics individually. For this reason, this section considers thermal constraints which are independent of the kinematic constraints considered in Sect. 5.7. In this regard, it is noted that since the constraint response \(\bar{{\mathbf {T}}}\) in (5.7.13) is workless (5.7.11)
so the constraint response makes no contribution to the rate of material dissipation in the second law of thermodynamics (6.3.9).
As a physical example of a thermal constraint, consider a material that has fibers in one direction that allow for very rapid heat conduction relative to the surrounding matrix material. For this case, the temperature gradient \({\mathbf {g}}\) in the direction of the fibers will be very small relative to the temperature gradient in directions perpendicular to the fibers due to slow conduction through the matrix material only. Motivated by this simple example, consider a thermal constraint which constrains the temperature gradient in the direction \({\varvec{\gamma }}\) of the form
where \({\varvec{\gamma }}\) is a vector that is independent of \({\mathbf {g}}\) and which under SRBM satisfies the transformation relation
Moreover, consider a general unconstrained material that is characterized by a constitutive equation \(\hat{{\mathbf {p}}}\) for the entropy flux \({\mathbf {p}}\). Next, consider a model of a constrained material for which \({\mathbf {p}}\) is additively separated into the constitutive part \(\hat{{\mathbf {p}}}\) and a part \(\bar{{\mathbf {p}}}\), called the constraint response, which enforces the thermal constraint (6.5.2)
Although \(\hat{{\mathbf {p}}}\) characterizes the response to general temperature gradients, its value in (6.5.4) is determined by evaluating \(\hat{{\mathbf {p}}}\) only for temperature gradients that satisfy the imposed thermal constraint. Moreover, \(\hat{{\mathbf {p}}}\) automatically transforms under SRBM, such that
Now, \(\bar{{\mathbf {p}}}\) is assumed to satisfy the restriction
and to be independent of the rate \({\mathbf {g}}\).
Next, multiplying (6.5.2) by an arbitrary scalar \(\gamma \) and subtracting the result from (6.5.6) yields
Since \({\varvec{\gamma }}\) is nonzero it is possible to specify \(\gamma \) by the equation
Then, the only nonzero components in (6.5.7) are perpendicular to \({\varvec{\gamma }}\). Since this equation must hold for arbitrary temperature gradients \({\mathbf {g}}\) that satisfy the constraint (6.5.2) and the coefficient of \({\mathbf {g}}\) is independent of \({\mathbf {g}}\), it follows that the constraint response \(\bar{{\mathbf {p}}}\) must be given by
with \(\gamma \) being an arbitrary function of \({\mathbf {x}}\) and t that is determined by the balance laws and boundary conditions. Since the restriction (R-2) in (4.7.3b), which defines how the constitutive response of the material relative to its orientation is the same for all SRBM, requires \({\mathbf {p}}\) to satisfy the transformation relation (6.4.20) and since \(\hat{{\mathbf {p}}}\) satisfies the transformaton relation (6.5.5), it follows from (6.5.4) that the constraint response \(\bar{{\mathbf {p}}}\) satisfies the transformation relation
for all SRBM. Then, with the help of (6.5.3) it can be shown that the arbitrary function \(\gamma \) must be unaffected by SRBM
In addition, since the constraint response \(\bar{{\mathbf {p}}}\) satisfies the restriction (6.5.6), it follows that
so the constraint response does not influence the restriction (6.3.7) of the second law of thermodynamics which requires heat to flow from hot to cold regions.
Furthermore, it is noted that up to two independent thermal constraints of the type (6.5.2) can be imposed simultaneously without causing \({\mathbf {p}}\) to be totally indeterminate.
6.6 Thermoelastic Materials
A thermoelastic solid is a special ideal material which is non-dissipative in the sense that the rate of material dissipation (6.2.12) vanishes
for all thermomechanical processes.
Within the context of the Eulerian formulation of constitutive equations, the microstructural vectors \({\mathbf {m}}_i\) and elastic metric \(m_{ij}\) described in Sect. 3.11 are determined by the evolution equations
Moreover, for a thermoelastic material, the response functions \(\psi , \eta \) and \({\mathbf {T}}\) are specified in the forms
so the condition (6.6.1) requires
Since the coefficients of \({\mathbf {D}}\) and \( \dot{\theta }\) are independent of these rates, and the coefficient of \({\mathbf {D}}\) is symmetric, \({\mathbf {T}}\) and \( \eta \) must be determined by the constitutive equations
This expression for the Cauchy stress \({\mathbf {T}}\) automatically satisfies the restriction (6.2.6) due to angular momentum. Moreover, the entropy flux \({\mathbf {p}}\) takes the form
which must satisfy the restriction (6.3.7) due to the second law of thermodynamics,
These functional forms are automatically properly invariant under SRBM. Also, using (6.2.11), it follows that the internal energy \({\varepsilon }\) for a thermoelastic material is given by
Furthermore, these constitutive equations are restricted so that the material is in a zero-stress material state whenever the elastic deformation metric \(m_{ij} = \delta _{ij}\) and the temperature equals the reference zero-stress temperature \(\theta = \theta _z\)
Rate-Dependent Response
Although the evolution Eq. (6.6.2) for \({\mathbf {m}}_i\) are homogeneous equations of order one in time and thus predict rate-independent response, and the response functions (6.6.3) and (6.6.6) are explicitly independent of the rates \({\mathbf {D}}\) and \( \dot{\theta }\), the response of a thermoelastic material is rate-dependent. This is because the balance of entropy in (6.2.5)\(_3\) predicts time-dependent response of the temperature for transient processes.
Path-Independent Response
Since \({\mathbf {m}}_i\) arematerial line elements, it follows that the values of the response functions \(\psi , \eta , {\mathbf {T}}\) and \( {\mathbf {p}}\) at a specified state characterized by \({\mathbf {m}}_i\) and \( \theta \) are independent of the path of the thermomechanical process that attains this state. This also means that for any thermomechanical process that starts at the state
and ends at the state
the changes in internal and kinetic energies
are independent of the path of the thermodynamic process. Moreover, with the help of the first law of thermodynamics (6.2.3), it follows that the total work done on the body plus the total heat supplied to the body during this process is also independent of the path of the process
In addition, the total work done on the body plus the total heat supplied to the body vanishes for any cyclic process which starts and ends at the same state \({\mathbf {m}}_i, \theta \) and \( {\mathbf {v}}\).
An Irreversible Process
Although a thermoelastic material is an ideal material with no material dissipation, it can experience an irreversible process. For the present discussion it is assumed that
Now consider a cantilever beam made from a homogeneous thermoelastic material. The external body force and external rate of heat supply both vanish \({\mathbf {b}}=0\) and \( r = 0\). Also, the velocity field on the clamped boundary vanishes, all other boundaries are traction free \({\mathbf {t}}=0\) and all boundaries are insulated from heat flow \({\mathbf {q}}\cdot {\mathbf {n}}= 0\). For this problem the total rate of work \({\mathcal {W}}\) done on the body vanishes and the total rate of heat supply \({\mathcal {H}}\) vanishes. Also, consider the case when the body is initially in a zero-stress material state at constant density \(\rho _z\) and constant zero-stress reference temperature \(\theta _z\), but it has an initial velocity field with a non-uniform rate of deformation so that
Consequently, from (6.2.3) the sum of the total internal and kinetic energies remains constant
where \({\mathcal {K}}(0)\) is the initial value of the total kinetic energy in the beam.
The global form of the balance of entropy in (6.2.1)\(_3\) and the restrictions (6.3.1), (6.3.6), (6.3.7) and (6.6.1) require
Moreover, the restriction (6.3.7) causes the total entropy to increase until the temperature becomes uniform with \({\mathbf {g}}= 0\). In particular, a non-uniform rate of deformation causes local temperature changes with a nonzero temperature gradient \({\mathbf {g}}\). However, due to assumption (6.6.14) and the result (6.6.16), the entropy cannot continue to increase without bound. This means that eventually the temperature must become uniform with \({\mathbf {g}}=0\), the velocity field must go to zero and the elastic deformation metric \(m_{ij}\) must become independent of time, but it can be nonuniform due the clamped boundary. Since energy is preserved, the final values of \({\mathcal {E}}\) and \( {\mathcal {K}}\) are constants given by
This example shows the importance of the entropy in a thermomechanical process. In particular, since the entropy flux must satisfy the restriction (6.3.7), it follows that the process is thermodynamically irreversible even though the thermoelastic material is non-dissipative.
A Separation of Elastic Dilatation and Distortional Deformations
To introduce separate control over the response of the material to dilatation and distortional rates of deformation, it is convenient to use the work of Flory [6] and use the elastic dilatation \(J_e\) defined in (3.11.7), the elastic distortional deformation vectors \({\mathbf {m}}_i^{\prime }\) defined in (3.11.14) and the elastic distortional deformation metric \(m_{ij}^{\prime }\) defined in (3.11.16), which satisfy the evolution Eqs. (3.11.13), (3.11.15) and (3.11.17)
where \({\mathbf {L}^{\prime \prime }}\) is the deviatoric part of \({\mathbf {L}}\). Moreover, since there is no inelastic volume change for a thermoelastic material, the elastic dilatation \(J_e\) can be expressed in the form (4.1.16)
where \(\rho _z\) is the constant zero-stress mass density at zero-stress reference temperature \(\theta _z\).
Then, for a thermoelastic material, the response functions \(\psi , \eta \) and \( {\mathbf {T}}\) are specified in the forms
so the condition (6.6.1) requires
Since the coefficients of \({\mathbf {D}}\) and \(\dot{\theta }\) are independent of these rates, and the coefficient of \({\mathbf {D}}\) is symmetric, \({\mathbf {T}}\) and \( \eta \) must be determined by the constitutive equations
where use has been made of (6.6.20). Moreover, the entropy flux \({\mathbf {p}}\) takes the form
which must satisfy the restriction (6.3.7) due to the second law of thermodynamics,
An Elastically Isotropic Thermoelastic Material
If the material is elastically isotropic, then the elastic dilatation \(J_e\) and the symmetric, positive-definite, unimodular elastic distortional deformation tensor \({\mathbf {B}_e^\prime }\) defined by (3.11.19) satisfy the evolution Eq. (3.11.30)
where \({\mathbf {L}^{\prime \prime }}\) is the deviatoric part of the velocity gradient \({\mathbf {L}}\). Since \({\mathbf {B}_e^\prime }\) is unimodular, it has only two independent non-trivial invariants \(\alpha _1\) and \(\alpha _2\) defined in (5.8.4)
which satisfy the evolution Eq. (5.8.7)
where \({\mathbf {B}_e^{\prime \prime }}\) is the deviatoric part of \({\mathbf {B}_e^\prime }\). Moreover, the evolution equation for elastic dilatation can be integrated to obtain (6.6.20).
For an elastically isotropic thermoelastic material, the response functions \(\psi , \eta \) and \({\mathbf {T}}\) are specified in the forms
so the condition (6.6.1) requires
for all thermomechanical processes. Since the coefficients of \({\mathbf {D}}\) and \(\dot{\theta }\) are independent of these rates, and the coefficient of \({\mathbf {D}}\) is symmetric, \({\mathbf {T}}\) and \(\eta \) must be determined by the constitutive equations
Also, for isotropic response the entropy flux vector can be specified by a generalized Fourier form
where the heat conduction coefficient \(\bar{\kappa }\) should not be confused with the hardening variable \(\kappa \) defined for inelastic response.
6.7 Thermoelastic–Inelastic Materials
For elastically anisotropic thermoelastic–inelastic materials, the microstructural vectors \({\mathbf {m}}_i\) are determined by integrating the evolution Eq. (5.11.30)
where \(\bar{{{\mathbf {L}}}}_p\) controls the direction of the inelastic rate \({\mathbf {L}}_p\) and \(\Gamma \) is a non-negative function that controls its magnitude. In general, \(\bar{{\mathbf {L}}}_p\) has a symmetric part \(\bar{{\mathbf {D}}}_p\) that controls the direction of inelastic deformation rate and a skew-symmetric part \(\bar{{\mathbf {W}}}_p\) that controls the direction of inelastic spin defined by
both of which require constitutive equations. Also, for isotropic hardening, the hardening \(\kappa \) is determined by the evolution Eq. (5.11.31)
where H is a function that controls the rate of hardening. More general directional hardening can be modeled by introducing directional hardening variables \(\beta _{ij} = \beta _{ji}\) which satisfy the evolution Eq. (5.11.32)
where \(H_{ij} = H_{ji}\) are functions that control the relative magnitudes of \(\beta _{ij}\). In addition, the elastic deformation metric \(m_{ij}\) defined in (5.11.34) satisfies the evolution equations
Now, for an anisotropic thermoelastic–inelastic material, the response functions \(\psi , \eta \) and \({\mathbf {T}}\) are specified in the forms
so the rate of material dissipation (6.3.9) requires
In general, without specifying details of the functional forms for \(\Gamma , \bar{{\mathbf {D}}}_p, H\) and \( H_{ij}\), it is not possible to determine necessary restrictions on the constitutive equations for \({\mathbf {T}}\) and \( \eta \). However, motivated by necessary restrictions for a rate-independent elastic–inelastic material with a yield function, the constitutive equations for \({\mathbf {T}}\) and \( \eta \) are specified by
so the rate of material dissipation imposes the restriction
Also, the constitutive equation for stress is assumed to be restricted so that a zero-stress material state at zero-stress reference temperature \(\theta _z\) [also called a Reference Lattice State (RLS)] is characterized by
where \(\delta _{ij}\) is the Kronecker delta. This means that the triad \({\mathbf {m}}_i\) has been defined so that \({\mathbf {m}}_i\) are orthonormal vectors in a zero-stress material state at zero-stress reference temperature \(\theta =\theta _z\). In addition, the entropy flux \({\mathbf {p}}\) can be specified in the form
which must satisfy the restriction (6.3.7) due to the second law of thermodynamics,
The evolution Eq. (6.7.1) for \({\mathbf {m}}_i\), (6.7.29) for \(\kappa \) and (6.7.4) for \(\beta _{ij}\) require initial conditions
A Separation of Elastic Dilatation and Distortional Deformations
To introduce separate control over the response of the material to dilatation and distortional rates of deformation, it is convenient to use the elastic dilatation \(J_e\), the distortional deformation vectors \({\mathbf {m}}_i^{\prime }\) and the elastic distortional deformation metric \(m_{ij}^{\prime }\), which satisfy the Eq. (5.11.45)
where \({\mathbf {L}^{\prime \prime }}\) is the deviatoric part of the velocity gradient \({\mathbf {L}}\) and \(\bar{{\mathbf {L}}}_p^{\prime \prime }\) is the deviatoric part of \(\bar{{\mathbf {L}}}_p\). Then, for an anisotropic thermoelastic–inelastic material, the response functions \(\psi , \eta \) and \( {\mathbf {T}}\) are specified in the forms
so the rate of material dissipation (6.3.9) requires
where use has been made of (6.6.20). Again, without specifying details of the rate of inelasticity and the hardening functions \(\Gamma , \bar{{\mathbf {D}}}_p, H\) and \(H_{ij}\), it is not possible to obtain necessary restrictions on the constitutive equation for stress and entropy. However, motivated by the constitutive Eq. (6.6.23) for a thermoelastic–inelastic material, the constitutive equations for stress and entropy in a thermomelastic–inelastic material are specified by
so the rate of material dissipation imposes the restriction
Also, the constitutive equation for stress is assumed to be restricted so that a zero-stress material state at zero-stress reference temperature \(\theta _z\) is characterized by
where \(\delta _{ij}\) is the Kronecker delta. This means that the triad \({\mathbf {m}}_i'\) has been defined so that \({\mathbf {m}}_i'\) are orthonormal vectors in a zero-stress material state at zero-stress reference temperature \(\theta =\theta _z\). In addition, the entropy flux \({\mathbf {p}}\) can be specified in the form (6.6.24)
which must satisfy the restriction (6.3.7) due to the second law of thermodynamics,
The evolution Eq. (6.7.14) for \(J_e\) and \({\mathbf {m}}_i^{\prime }\), (6.7.29) for \(\kappa \) and (6.7.4) for \(\beta _{ij}\) require initial conditions
Examples where this formulation has been used to model elastic and inelastic anisotropy in geological materials with joints can be found in [25, 35]. Also, notice that inelastic dilatation rate \(\bar{{\mathbf {D}}}_p \cdot {\mathbf {I}}\ne 0\) in (6.7.14) prevents the elastic dilatation \(J_e\) from being written in a simple form like (6.6.20) since the zero-stress density of the material at zero-stress reference temperature need not be constant.
Elastically Isotropic Thermoelastic–Inelastic Response
For elastically isotropic thermoelastic–inelastic response, the Helmholtz free energy depends on the invariants of the metric \(m_{ij}\). Then, following the definitions of pure dilatation and pure distortion proposed by Flory [6], the elastic dilatation \(J_e\) is defined by (3.11.7)
and the symmetric, positive-definite, unimodular elastic distortional deformation tensor \({\mathbf {B}_e^\prime }\) is defined by (5.8.1)
Then, the evolution equation for \(J_e\) is given by (6.7.14)
and \({\mathbf {B}_e^\prime }\) satisfies the evolution Eq. (5.11.66) with the specification
Also, the non-trivial invariants \(\alpha _1\) and \(\alpha _2\) of \({\mathbf {B}_e^\prime }\) are given by (5.11.58)
which satisfy the evolution Eq. (5.11.59)
where \({\mathbf {B}_e^{\prime \prime }}\) is the deviatoric part of \({\mathbf {B}_e^\prime }\). In addition, attention is limited to isotropic hardening \(\kappa \), which satisfies the evolution Eq. (6.7.29)
For an elastically isotropic thermoelastic–inelastic material, the response functions \(\psi , \eta \) and \( {\mathbf {T}}\) are specified in the forms
so the rate of material dissipation (6.3.9) requires
In general, without specifying details of the functional forms for \(\Gamma , \bar{{\mathbf {D}}}_p\) and H, it is not possible to determine necessary restrictions on the constitutive equations for \({\mathbf {T}}\) and \(\eta \). However, motivated by necessary restrictions for a rate-independent elastic–inelastic material with a yield function, the constitutive equations for \({\mathbf {T}}\) and \( \eta \) are specified by
so the rate of material dissipation imposes the restriction
Also, the constitutive equation for stress is assumed to be restricted so that a zero-stress material state at zero-stress reference temperature \(\theta _z\) is characterized by
In addition, for isotropic response the entropy flux can be specified by a generalized Fourier form (6.6.32)
where the heat conduction coefficient \(\bar{\kappa }\) should not be confused with the hardening variable \(\kappa \).
6.8 Orthotropic Thermoelastic–Inelastic Materials
A homogeneous, isotropic elastic material deformed from a uniform zero-stress material state to a Hydrostatic State of Stress (HSS)
is compressed but it experiences no distortional deformation. This means that a cube of a homogeneous, isotropic elastic material in a zero-stress material state will deform to a smaller cube when it is compressed by water causing a HSS. In contrast, a homogeneous, orthotropic elastic material deformed from a uniform zero-stress material state to a compressed HSS is distorted as well as being compressed. This means that a cube of a homogeneous, orthotropic elastic material in a zero-stress material state will deform to a rectangular parallelepiped when it is compressed by water causing a HSS. This also means that additional distortional deformation is required to produce deviatoric stress.
Rubin and Jabareen [20, 21] considered this problem for the purely mechanical theory of orthotropic elastic materials and developed physically based orthotropic invariants which characterize the added distortional deformations that cause deviatoric stress.
Recently, this approach was generalized to model an orthotropic thermoelastic–inelastic material [27] where additional details can be found. Motivated by the work in [14], the equations for this theory are slightly modified relative to those reported in [27]. For this theory use is made of the elastic dilatation \(J_e\), the elastic distortional deformation vectors \({\mathbf {m}}_i^{\prime }\) and the elastic distortional deformation metric \(m_{ij}^{\prime }\) which satisfy the evolution Eq. (6.7.14)
where \({\mathbf {L}^{\prime \prime }}\) is the deviatoric part of the velocity gradient \({\mathbf {L}}\), \(\bar{{\mathbf {L}}}_p^{\prime \prime }\) is the deviatoric part of the direction \(\bar{{\mathbf {L}}}_p\) of inelastic rate and the non-negative function \(\Gamma \) controls the magnitude of the inelastic deformation rate. Using (6.7.2), the direction of inelastic deformation rate \(\bar{{\mathbf {D}}}_p\) and the direction of inelastic spin \(\bar{{\mathbf {W}}}_p\) are defined by
In addition, the isotropic hardening variable \(\kappa \) is determined by the evolution Eq. (6.7.29)
where H is a function that controls the rate of hardening and the directional hardening variables \(\beta _{ij} = \beta _{ji}\) are determined by the evolution Eq. (6.7.4)
where \(H_{ij} = H_{ji}\) are functions that control the relative magnitudes of \(\beta _{ij}\).
A thermoelastic orthotropic material in any HSS experiences mechanical distortion and can also experience distortion due to thermal effects. Specifically, in any HSS the elastic distortional vectors \({\mathbf {m}}_i^{\prime }\), their reciprocal vectors \({\mathbf {m}}^{i {\prime }}\) and the metrics \(m_{ij}^{\prime }\) and \(m^{ij {\prime }}\) take the forms
which indicate that \({\mathbf {m}}_i^{\prime }\) and \({\mathbf {m}}^{i {\prime }}\) are orthogonal triads of vectors parallel to the principal directions of orthotropy of the material. Moreover, \(\eta _i\) are dependent positive constitutive distortional deformation functions of the elastic dilatation \(J_e\) and temperature \(\theta \) satisfying the restrictions
with \(\eta _i\) being unity in any Reference Lattice State (RLS) at reference zero-stress temperature \(\theta _z\).
Since any HSS causes a cube of the orthotropic material to deform into a rectangular parallelepiped, in principle, it is possible to use a triaxial testing machine to measure the two independent functions \(\eta _1\) and \( \eta _2\) for different values of \(J_e\) and \(\theta \). Of course, experimental challenges related to friction on the sides of the specimen and difficulties with applying tension while letting the sides of the specimen slide freely, currently limit the range of \(J_e\) and \( \theta \) that can be explored experimentally.
The Helmholtz free energy for an orthotropic thermoelastic–inelastic material can be expressed in the form
Specific functional forms for \(\psi \) must be proposed which match the distortions (6.8.6) in any HSS that are characterized by the measured values of the functions \(\eta _i\) as well as match additional experimental data for the added distortions that cause deviatoric stress.
The main idea in [27] is to rewrite the six generalized physically based orthotropic invariants \(\beta _i\) developed in [21] in terms of the elastic distortional deformation metric \(m_{ij}^{\prime }\) and its inverse \(m^{ij {\prime }}\), which are influenced by inelastic deformation rate, and to generalize the characterization of any HSS to include thermoelastic response. Then, the Helmholtz free energy \(\psi \) is specified in the form
Since the invariants \(\beta _i\) are based on the distortional deformation functions \(\eta _i\), it follows that this representation of \(\psi \) automatically reproduces the distortions \(\eta _i\) and the results (6.8.6) in any HSS. This simplifies the constitutive modeling of an orthotropic thermoelastic–inelastic material because a specific form \(\psi \) in (6.8.9) need only consider the pressure in any HSS and experimental data for distortional deformations that cause deviatoric stress.
Specifically, using the functional forms for the distortions \(\eta _i\), the physically based orthotropic invariants \(\beta _i\) are defined by
which by definition attain the values
Moreover, with the help of (6.8.7) it can be shown that
where the functions \(N_i\) and \(A_i\) are defined by
Also, the deviatoric tensors \({\mathbf {B}}_i^{\prime \prime }\) are defined by
In particular, using (6.8.6), it follows that
Now, with the help of (6.8.9) and (6.8.12), the rate of material dissipation (6.3.9) requires
Motivated by this expression, the constitutive equations for the Cauchy stress \({\mathbf {T}}\) and the entropy \(\eta \) are specified by
where p is the pressure and \({\mathbf {T}^{\prime \prime }}\) is the deviatoric stress. It then follows that the rate of material dissipation requires
Also, the entropy flux vector can be specified by
where \(K^{ij}\) is a positive-definite symmetric matrix that characterizes anisotropic heat conduction coefficients. Since \(K^{ij}\) is a positive-definite, it follows that the restriction of the second law of thermodynamics which requires heat to flow from hot to cold (6.3.7)
is automatically satisfied.
Also, notice that inelastic dilatation rate \(\bar{{\mathbf {D}}}_p \cdot {\mathbf {I}}\ne 0\) in (6.8.2) prevents the elastic dilatation \(J_e\) from being written in a simple form like (6.6.20) since the zero-stress density of the material at zero-stress reference temperature \(\theta _z\) need not be constant.
Specific Constitutive Equations
To simplify the discussion, consider the case of metal plasticity for which inelastic deformation rate is isochoric so that
and the elastic dilatation \(J_e\) can be expressed in the form (4.1.16).
where \(\rho _z\) is the constant zero-stress mass density at zero-stress reference temperature \(\theta _z\).
Next, motivated by the work in [16, 26] for a material with a constant specific heat \(C_v\), the Helmholtz free energy is specified by
where \(\psi _1\) controls the isotropic thermomechanical response and \(\psi _2\) controls the orthotropic response in any HSS as well as the influence of additional distortional deformation that causes deviatoric stress. In these expressions, \(f_1\) controls strong thermomechanical coupling and \(f_2\) controls the isotropic response to nonlinear compression that can be determined by plate impact experiments for shock waves as discussed in Sect. 6.9. In addition, \(K_i\) control the influences of the orthotropic invariants \(\beta _i\). It then follows from (6.8.17) that the associated constitutive equations are given by
In these expressions, \(p_1\) and \( \hat{\eta }_1\) control the isotropic thermomechanical response and \(p_2\) and \(\hat{\eta }_2\) control the orthotropic response in any HSS as well as the influence of additional distortional deformation that causes deviatoric stress. Although this form for \(\psi \) automatically predicts the correct distortions \(\eta _i\) in any HSS, the functions \(f_1\) and \(f_2\) need to be determined to match experimental data for the pressure in each HSS. Also, the functions \(\hat{\eta }_1\) and \(\hat{\eta }_2\) should not be confused with the function \(\eta _1\) and \( \eta _2\) in (6.8.6) which characterize distortional deformations in any HSS. Furthermore, using (6.2.11) the internal energy \({\varepsilon }\) can be expressed in the form
Now, following the work in [27] the distortions \(\eta _i\) in (6.8.6) for any HSS are specified by the forms
where in view of (6.8.7) the functions \(n_i, \alpha _i\) must satisfy the restrictions
Since the inelastic deformation rate is isochoric (6.8.21), the rate of material dissipation (6.8.18) requires
Then, following the work in [27] the direction of inelastic deformation rate \(\bar{{\mathbf {D}}}_p\) is specified by
where \(d_i\) are non-negative constants so that the rate of material dissipation (6.8.28) is automatically satisfied. These restrictions on \(d_i\) are sufficient but not necessary conditions for (6.8.28) to be satisfied. For example, the work on metal forming with inelastic orthotropic deformation rate in [14] developed more relaxed restrictions on \(d_i\) which allow some of the \(d_i\) to be negative but which satisfy (6.8.28) for small elastic distortional deformations. Also, in [14] the direction of inelastic spin \(\bar{{\mathbf {W}}}_p\) was specified by
where \(\Omega _{12}, \Omega _{13}\) and \(\Omega _{23}\) are constants that control the magnitude of the inelastic spin which influences the rate of rotation of the distortional microstructural vectors \({\mathbf {m}}_i^{\prime }\).
Furthermore, in [14] an orthotropic yield function g for purely mechanical response was proposed in the form
where \(T_{ij}\) are the components of \({\mathbf {T}}\) relative to the elastic distortional deformation base vectors \({\mathbf {m}}_i^{\prime }\) defined by
In this regard, it is important to emphasize that the components \(T_{ij}\) of \({\mathbf {T}}\) are uninfluenced by SRBM since their values \(T_{ij}^+\) in the superposed configuration are given by
Next, the function \(\Gamma \), which controls the magnitude of inelastic deformation rate, can be determined by the loading conditions (5.11.79) for rate-independent response or by (5.11.80) which models a smooth elastic–inelastic transition for rate-independent response and rate-dependent response.
Since the orthotropic invariants \(\beta _i\) are valid for large deformations, this formulation generalizes more standard formulations based on a quadratic strain energy function like (5.8.24) which are only accurate for moderate strains [see the end of Sect. 5.8]. Consequently, this formulation based on \(\beta _i\) can be used for soft materials which experience large deformations [27].
6.9 Thermoelastic–Inelastic Materials for Shock Waves
Plate impact experiments have been used for decades to study the dynamic response of materials, especially to strong shocks. Specifically, in the simplest form of a plate impact experiment, a circular cylindrical flyer plate of a known material is accelerated in a gas gun toward a circular cylindrical target plate of the material that is being studied, which has a circular cylindrical backup plate of a known transparent material. A laser is used to measure the axial velocity of a material point at the center of the back of the target plate. Since the wave propagation speed in each material is finite, there is a finite time window in which reflections from free surfaces do not reach material points on the centerline of the target plate. Moreover, since the material is shock loaded very rapidly, it is assumed that there is no time for heat conduction so the heat flux vector \({\mathbf {q}}\) is taken to be zero. Within this time window the deformation of the target is uniaxial strain and the equations of mass conservation and the balances of linear momentum and energy can be solved to obtain Rankine–Hugoniot jump conditions between the density, axial stress and internal energy as functions of the particle velocity and the shock velocity. The system of equations is closed by proposing a relationship between the shock velocity and the particle velocity, which are measured experimentally.
Since inelastic effects limit the magnitude of the deviatoric stress, the axial stress in strong shocks can be approximated by the pressure. The plate impact experimental data can be used to determine the Hugoniot curve for the target material which connects the pressure to the density for the equilibrium state after the shock has passed the material point of interest. For strong shocks, this creates strong thermomechanical coupling which must be modeled accurately to analyze the influence of the shock on material response.
The developments in this section are limited to an elastically isotropic thermoelastic–inelastic material. Use is made of the work in [3, 16] to propose a specific form for the Helmholtz free energy that is consistent with a Mie–Gruneisen equation of state (constitutive equation) for the pressure in shocked states. Also, for simplicity attention is limited to materials which have no inelastic dilatational deformation rate
so the elastic dilatation \(J_e\) is determined by the evolution equation
which can be integrated and expressed in the form (4.1.16)
where \(\rho _z\) is the constant zero-stress mass density at zero-stress reference temperature \(\theta _z\).
Also, the unimodular elastic distortional deformation tensor \({\mathbf {B}_e^\prime }\) is determined by the evolution Eq. (5.11.55) with (5.11.65)
with the elastic distortional deformation invariant \(\alpha _1\) satisfying the equations
and the evolution equation for the isotropic hardening variable \(\kappa \) is given by (6.7.29)
Motivated by the work in [3, 16, 26] for a material with a constant specific heat \(C_v\), the Helmholtz free energy \(\psi \) is specified by
where \(\psi _1\) controls the thermomechanical response to dilatation and \(\mu \) is the shear modulus which is allowed to be a function of \(J_e\) and \( \theta \). The function \(f_1\) controls strong thermomechanical coupling and \(f_2\) controls nonlinear response to dilatation. These functions \(f_1\) and \( f_2\) need to be determined from plate impact experimental data.
Next, assuming that \(\eta \) and \({\mathbf {T}}\) are functions of the forms
it follows from (6.7.32) that
and from (6.7.33) that the inelastic distortional deformation rate must satisfy the restriction
However, since \(\Gamma \) is non-negative, the shear modulus \(\mu \) is positive and in [18] it was shown that \({\mathbf {A}}_p \cdot {\mathbf {I}}\ge 0\) (5.11.67), it follows that nonzero inelastic deformation rate satisfies the condition (6.9.10) and is dissipative.
Then, with the help of (6.2.11) the specific internal energy \({\varepsilon }\) takes the form
In these expressions, the terms \(\psi _1, p_1, \eta _1\) and \( {\varepsilon }_1\) depend only on \(J_e\) and \(\theta \) and represent the main thermomechanical response and the terms \(\psi _2, p_2, \eta _2\) and \({\varepsilon }_2\) also depend on the elastic distortional deformation \(\alpha _1\).
For later reference it is noted that the expression \({\varepsilon }_1\) can be solved for \(\theta \) and result can be substituted into the expression for \(p_1\) to obtain
which expresses \(p_1\) as a linear function of the energy \({\varepsilon }_1\).
Next, neglecting body force, deviatoric stress, radiation and heat conduction and restricting attention to uniaxial strain in the \({\mathbf {e}}_1\) direction, the local equations of the conservation of mass, balance of linear momentum and balance of energy can be written in the forms
where x is the current position of a material point which was located at the position X in the reference configuration and u is the current velocity of the material point. Moreover, consider a steady-wave moving at the shock velocity U relative to the reference configuration into a zero-stress material state at zero-stress reference temperature and at rest with
For this steady-wave it is convenient to introduce the auxiliary variable \(\chi \), such that
Then, the position x and dilatation \(J_e\) are given by
where \(\delta (\chi )\) is the displacement of the material point relative to its reference position. Also, the particle velocity u, pressure p and internal energy \({\varepsilon }\) are expressed in the forms
where \(p_H\) is the pressure and \({\varepsilon }_H\) is the internal energy on the Hugoniot curve.
Differentiating the expression for x yields an expression for u given by
Moreover, the balance of linear momentum and the balance of energy are expressed in the forms
which with the help of the conservation of mass (6.9.13) and the conditions (6.9.14) can be integrated to obtain
which are the Rankine–Hugoniot jump conditions. These equations connect the states of the material on both sides of a uniaxial strain shock wave moving into a zero-stress material at rest. They are used to plot Hugoniot curves of the state variables as functions of the dilatation \(J_e\) or density \(\rho =\rho _z J_e^{-1}\) for a specified shock velocity.
For a complete constitutive equation for pressure it is necessary to propose an expression for values of p off the Hugoniot curve \(p=p_H\). In shock physics it is common to use a Mie–Gruneisen equation of state to determine the pressure for states off of the Hugoniot curve. This Mie–Gruneisen equation expresses the pressure as a function of dilatation and energy. Motivated by the work in [3, 16], this Mie–Gruneisen equation is written in terms of the main thermomechanical parts \(p_1, {\varepsilon }_1\) of the pressure and energy in the form
where the Gruneisen gamma \(\gamma \) is taken in the form
with \(\gamma _z\) being the unshocked zero-stress value of \(\gamma \).
Then, comparison of (6.9.12) with (6.9.21) shows that the constitutive Eq. (6.9.7) for the Helmholtz free energy will be consistent with the Mie–Gruneisen equation (6.9.21) provided that \(f_1\) and \(f_2\) satisfy the differential equations
which can be integrated subject to the conditions
to deduce that
Experimental data for shock waves in compression is used to determine the constant coefficients \(S_i\) in the approximation
with \(U_z\) being the zero-stress shock velocity. Substituting (6.9.20) into this expression yields
for compression. This function is extended to the expansion regime using the form
Then, with the help of these expressions for the shock velocity U, it can be shown that the function \(f_3\) in (6.9.25) can be determined in closed form for expansion with U given by (6.9.28), but it is necessary to integrate the function \(f_3\) in (6.9.25) numerically with U given by (6.9.27) for compression. Recently, it was shown in [26] that by modifying the approximation (6.9.27) for compression to take the form
it is possible to develop a closed form expression for \(f_3\) for compression for general values of the constants \(\tilde{S}_1\) and \( \tilde{S}_2\). Numerous experiments have been conducted at great expense to obtain values of \(S_1, S_2, S_3\) and \( \gamma _z\) for a large number of materials. Fortunately, it was shown in [26] that these values can be used without conducting additional experiments to determine values of \(\tilde{S}_1\) and \( \tilde{S}_2\) which yield excellent agreement with experimental data for most materials.
To complete the constitutive equations, it is necessary to specify functional forms for \(\Gamma \) in (6.9.4) and H in (6.9.6) for rate-independent or rate-dependent response as discussed in Sect. 5.8. Also, the entropy flux vector \({\mathbf {p}}\) must be specified, which could be taken in form (6.7.35).
6.10 Thermoelastic–Inelastic Porous Materials
Porosity appears naturally in a number of materials like rocks, soils, ceramics, metals and biological tissues. The \(p-\alpha \) model developed in [11] and the modification in [4] have been used to model important dissipation due to porous compaction in shock wave problems. For these problems, the shock compaction occurs so quickly that even if the pores are partially or fully saturated with fluid, there is no time for the fluid to move, so fluid diffusion through the porous material can be neglected. Porous compaction, dilation and/or “bulking” (i.e., porous dilation under positive pressure) have been modeled in Nevada Tuff [19], granular media [22], sand [10] and ceramics [3]. Also, nucleation and growth of pores in metals have been modeled in [9].
Porosity in biological tissues is necessary for fluid flow that supplies essential nutrients for cell function. In contrast with shock loading, deformation of biological tissues is typically a slow process which can be significantly influenced by diffusion of fluid. An example of constitutive equations for slow deformation of biological tissues with fluid diffusion along with references to previous work can be found in [32]. In addition, prediction of the long-term quantity of production of an oil well that has been stimulated by hydrofracturing requires proper treatment of poroelasticity and inelasticity which characterizes porous compaction and the associated reduced permeability.
This section discusses the structure of constitutive equations for a porous material subjected to loading rapid enough to neglect fluid diffusion. Following the work in [10, 19, 22] an element of volume dv of the porous material is separated into an element of volume \(dv_s\) of the solid material and an element of volume \(dv_p\) of the pores
and the current porosity \(\phi \) is defined by
For simplicity, the pores are assumed so be evacuated so the element of mass dm of the porous material is due solely to the element of mass \(dm_s\) of the solid
where \(\rho \) is the current mass density of the porous material and \(\rho _s\) is the current mass density of the solid matrix. Then, using (6.10.1)–(6.10.3) the mass density \(\rho \) can be expressed in the form
Now, for an elastically isotropic, thermoelastic–inelastic porous material the elastic dilatation \(J_e\) satisfies the evolution equation
where an evolution equation for \(\phi \) must be specified. This equation can be rewritten in the form
which with the help of the conservation of mass (6.2.5)
and the expression (6.10.4) for \(\rho \) can be expressed in the form
This equation integrates to obtain
where \(\rho _{sz}\) is the zero-stress mass density of the solid material. This shows that \(J_e\) is the solid elastic dilatation.
Also, the elastic distortional deformation tensor is characterized by the symmetric, positive-definite, unimodular tensor \({\mathbf {B}_e^\prime }\) which satisfies the evolution Eq. (5.11.66)
where \(\Gamma \) is a non-negative function that controls the rate of distortional inelasticity. Also, for simplicity, attention is limited to the first invariant \(\alpha _1\) of elastic distortional deformation defined by (6.7.27) and the evolution Eq. (6.7.28)
where \({\mathbf {B}_e^{\prime \prime }}\) is the deviatoric part of \({\mathbf {B}_e^\prime }\). In addition, attention is limited to isotropic hardening \(\kappa \), which satisfies the evolution Eq. (6.7.29)
where H controls the hardening rate.
For an elastically isotropic thermoelastic–inelastic porous material, the response functions \(\psi , \eta \) and \( {\mathbf {T}}\) are specified in the forms
where \(\psi _s\) and \( \eta _s\) are the Helmholtz free energy and entropy of the solid material, both per unit mass. Then, with the help of (6.10.5)–(6.10.13), the rate of material dissipation (6.3.9) requires
In general, without specifying details of the functional forms for \(\Gamma , \dot{\phi }\) and H it is not possible to determine necessary restrictions on the constitutive equations for \({\mathbf {T}}\) and \( \eta _s\). Specifically, in [19] the added compressibility of porosity was modeled with both elastic and inelastic rates of porosity. Here, for simplicity, changes in \(\phi \) are assumed to be inelastic only. Moreover, motivated by necessary restrictions for a rate-independent elastic–inelastic material with a yield function, the constitutive equations for \({\mathbf {T}}\) and \( \eta \) are specified by
where \(p_s\) and \( {\mathbf {T}}_s^{{\prime \prime }}\) are the pressure and deviatoric stress in the solid. It then follows that the rate of material dissipation imposes the restriction
where \(\rho \theta \xi ^{\prime }_\phi \) is the material dissipation rate due to porosity changes and \(\rho \theta \xi ^{\prime }_d\) is the material dissipation rate due to inelastic distortional deformations. Assuming that the effective shear modulus is positive
and using the fact that \( {\mathbf {A}}_p \cdot {\mathbf {I}}\ge 0\), it follows that the inelastic distortional deformation is dissipative
Also, the constitutive equation for stress is assumed to be restricted so that a zero-stress material state at zero-stress reference temperature \(\theta _z\) is characterized by
In addition, for isotropic response the entropy flux vector is specified by a generalized Fourier form (6.6.32)
where the heat conduction coefficient \(\bar{\kappa }\) should not be confused with the isotropic hardening variable \(\kappa \).
From the definition of \(\rho \theta \xi ^{\prime }_\phi \) in (6.10.16), it follows that porous compaction \((\dot{\phi } < 0)\) at positive pressure and porous dilation \((\dot{\phi } > 0)\) at negative pressure are both dissipative processes, but “bulking” (i.e., porous dilation at positive pressure) is a non-dissipative process. These three processes are modeled in the nonlinear breakage model developed in [22]. Also, the work in [10] discusses functional forms that include these effects in a thermomechanical theory.
As a special case, the Helmholtz free energy \(\psi _s\) of the solid material is specified in the form
where \(C_v\) is the constant specific heat, \(C_z\) is the zero-stress shock wave speed, S is a positive constant controlling the slope of the shock velocity versus particle velocity curve, \(\alpha \) is the constant coefficient of linear expansion and \(\mu _z\) is the zero-stress shear modulus. It then follows from (6.10.15) that
Next, for simplicity, attention is further limited to isothermal response with \(\theta =\theta _z\) for which
To motivate a form for the evolution equation for porosity consider the expression
which with the help of (6.10.23) yields
where \(J_e\) is restricted so that the denominators in these expressions do not vanish. Also, for later convenience it can be shown that the constitutive equation (6.10.23) for the pressure p can be solved for \(J_e\) to deduce that
where P is the normalized pressure.
Next, it is convenient to introduce the constant pressures \(p_T < 0\), \(p_c > 0\) and the maximum pressure \(p_{max}\) and the minimum porosity \(\phi _{min}\) attained. Then, motivated by the work in [32] the evolution equation for \(\phi \) is specified by
where m and \(\beta _d\) are non-negative constants. These equations define five regions of response: porous dilatation \((\dot{\phi } \ge 0)\) with \(p=p_T < 0\) for (6.10.27a); elastic response for (6.10.27b); porous compaction \((\dot{\phi } \le 0)\) with \(p=p_c > 0\) for (6.10.27c); elastic response with \(p_c< p < p_{max}\) for (6.10.27d) and porous compaction \((\dot{\phi } \le 0)\) with \(p=p_{max}\) for (6.10.27e). The non-negative functions \(\Gamma _T, \Gamma _c\) and \(\Gamma _\phi \) are determined by the conditions \(p=p_T\), \(p=p_c\) and (6.10.24), respectively. Also, it follows from (6.10.27e) that for compaction at positive pressure, the rate of compaction, which is controlled by the constant m, competes with the rate of dilation due to bulking, which is controlled by the constant \(\beta _d\). Moreover, from this evolution equation it can be seen that \(\phi \) is automatically limited to its physical range
Furthermore, for compaction at maximum pressure (6.10.27e), it can be shown that (6.10.24) reduces to
In view of the restrictions (6.10.25), it follows that small values of m cause a tendency for a slow increase in pressure for \(\phi> > m\), and nonzero values of \(\beta _d\), with nonzero rate of dissipation due to inelastic distortional deformation \(\rho \theta _z \xi _d > 0\) causing additional increase in pressure due to bulking. Also, when \(\phi \rightarrow 0\) and the pressure is large, the response asymptotically approaches that of the nonporous solid matrix.
Moreover, for these evolution equations, it follows that porosity changes are dissipative
for the response regions without bulking (6.10.27a), (6.10.27b), (6.10.27c) and (6.10.27d). Also, for compaction with bulking (6.10.27e), it can be shown with the help of (6.10.18) that the rate of material dissipation (6.10.16) for \(\theta =\theta _z\) requires
Consequently, the rate of material dissipation (6.10.16) is satisfied for all processes
Numerical Integration Algorithm
Consider a time step which begins at \(t=t_n\), ends at \(t_{n+1}\) with time increment \(\Delta t=t_{n+1}-t_n\). A strongly objective numerical integration algorithm (5.11.89a) for \({\mathbf {B}_e^\prime }\) was discussed in Sect. 5.11. Here, a strongly objective numerical integration algorithm is developed for the evolution equation for \(J_e\). To this end, it is recalled that the relative dilatation \(J_r\) satisfies the Eq. (5.11.84)
Then, the evolution Eq. (6.10.6) for \(J_e\) can be expressed in the form
which can be integrated to deduce that
Equating \(J_e(t_{n+1})\) in (6.10.35) with \(J_e\) in (6.10.26) yields the result
which can be used to determine
This means that the values of \(\phi (t_{n+1})\) and \(J_e(t_{n+1})\) for the solutions of (6.10.27a), (6.10.27c) and (6.10.27d) at the end of the time step are determined by (6.10.35) and (6.10.37).
To obtain a solution for (6.10.27e), this equation is rewritten in the form
Assuming that \(\Gamma _\phi \) can be approximated as constant over the time step, this equation is rewritten in the form
The solution of this equation is further approximated by the solution of the implicit expression
where \((\rho \theta \xi _d)(t_{n+1})\) is an estimate of \(\rho \theta \xi _d\) at the end of the time step, and \(p(t_{n+1})\) and \(\Gamma _\phi (t_{n+1})\) are determined by replacing \(J_e\) in (6.10.23) and (6.10.25), respectively, with (6.10.35) to obtain a nonlinear equation for \(\phi (t_{n+1})\) to be solved numerically. Once the values \(\phi (t_{n+1})\) and \(J_e(t_{n+1})\) have been determined, the pressure p at the end of the time step is determined by (6.10.23).
To display the compaction response, it is convenient to use the total dilatation J from the initial state determined by the evolution equation and initial condition
The exact integration of this equation over a time step is given by the expression
The following examples consider the case of no bulking with \(\beta _d = 0\).
Cyclic Dilatational Loading
Next, to understand the influence of the parameter m in the evolution Eq. (6.10.27e) for \(\phi \), consider the case when the material is initially at zero stress with
and confine attention to pure dilatational loading for which
For these conditions, the deviatoric stress remains zero \({\mathbf {T}^{\prime \prime }}= 0\) and the pressure is determined by (6.10.23). Moreover, the initial value of porosity \(\phi \) and the material constants \(S, P_T\) and \(P_c\) for this example are specified by
Figure 6.1 shows the response to cyclic loading with compression \(a{-}b\); expansion \(b{-}c\); compression \(c{-}d\); compression \(d{-}e\) and expansion \(e{-}f\) for \(m=0.01\). During the compression cycle \(a{-}b\) the response is elastic with constant porosity \(\phi \) until \(P=P_c\) and then compaction occurs with decrease in porosity. The expansion cycle \(b{-}c\) is elastic with constant porosity until \(P=P_T\) and then dilation occurs at constant pressure \(P=P_T\) with increase in porosity. The recompression cycle \(c{-}d\) is elastic with constant porosity until \(P=P_c\) and then compaction occurs at constant pressure \(P=P_c\) with decrease in porosity until \(\phi =\phi _{min}\). The compression cycle \(d{-}e\) is elastic with constant porosity until \(P=P_{max} = p_{max}/(\rho _{sz}C_z^2)\) and continued compaction occurs with decrease in porosity. The expansion \(e{-}f\) is elastic with constant porosity.
Figure 6.2 shows the influence of m on the compaction curve. Specifically, Fig. 6.2a shows the pressure response and Fig. 6.2b shows the porosity response. From these figures, it can be seen that m has a strong effect on the pressure during compaction with only small differences in the functional form of \(\phi \) required for the range of values of m. It can also be seen that as the porosity approaches zero the response asymptotically approaches that of the nonporous solid material.
As mentioned before, more complicated evolution equations for \(\phi \) which deal thermomechanical unloading can be found in [10, 22]. Also, to complete the constitutive equations, it is necessary to specify a functional form for \(\Gamma \) in (6.10.10) and H in (6.10.12) for rate-independent or rate-dependent response as discussed in Sect. 5.8.
6.11 Thermoelastic–Inelastic Theory for Growth of Biological Tissues
Biological tissues are complicated materials which are mixtures of many components that can flow relative to each other and interact mechanically, chemically and electrically (e.g., [1, 2, 12, 31]). A simplified constrained theory of mixtures with only one velocity field was developed by Humphrey and Rajagopal [12]. Also, review articles on growth and remodeling of tissues can be found in (e.g., [1, 13, 33]).
When the tissue is considered to be a homogenized solid, the standard approach to modeling growth for finite deformations is the Lagrangian formulation of growth proposed by Rodriguez et al. [15]. This formulation is based on the multiplicative form (5.11.11) by replacing the plastic deformation tensor \(\mathbf{F}_p\) with a growth tensor \(\mathbf{F}_g\), such that
with the rate of growth \({\varvec{\Lambda }}_g\) specified by a constitutive equation. However, this multiplicative formulation has the same arbitrariness as discussed previously for the Lagrangian formulation of plasticity, which can be removed by the Eulerian formulation discussed below.
Rubin et al. [23] developed an Eulerian unified theoretical structure for modeling interstitial growth and muscle activation in soft tissues. This Eulerian formulation of growth was used: in [30] to study significant differences in the mechanical modeling of confined growth predicted by the Lagrangian and Eulerian formulations; in [28] to analyze stresses in arteries and in [29] to model early cardiac morphogenesis during c-looping. This section reviews this Eulerian thermomechanical formulation of growth.
Growth requires an influx of nutrients to the tissue. Consequently, the theory developed in [23] treats the tissue as an open system with an external rate of mass supply. Specifically, the current mass density \(\rho \) of the tissue is determined by the balance of mass
where \(r_m\) is the external rate of mass supply per unit mass. This simplifies the formulation by neglecting diffusion of fluid and allowing for a single velocity field to describe deformation of the tissue.
The balances of linear momentum and entropy in this theory are given by (6.2.5)
The balance of angular momentum (6.2.6) again requires the Cauchy stress to be symmetric
but the balance of energy (6.2.7) is modified to include an external rate of energy supply b per unit mass due to mechanobiological processes
The Helmholtz free energy \(\psi \) is defined by (6.2.11)
and the internal rate of entropy production \(\rho \xi \) in [17] is separated into a thermal part \((-{\mathbf {p}}\cdot {\mathbf {g}})\) and a rate of material dissipation \(\rho \theta \xi ^{\prime }\) (6.2.9)
with \({\mathbf {g}}= {\partial }\theta /{\partial }{\mathbf {x}}\) being the temperature gradient and
In these equations, the superposed \(\dot{(\,)}\) denotes the standard material derivative with respect to the single velocity field.
The second law of thermodynamics for heat conduction requires the entropy flux \({\mathbf {p}}\) to satisfy the restriction (6.3.7) that heat flows from hot to cold regions
and the second law for the rate of material dissipation requires (6.3.9)
This model can be used for growth of biological tissues as well as for muscle activation, both of which require an external supply of energy, which is characterized by term b in the balance of energy (6.11.5). Here, the mechanobiological processes which control growth and muscle activation are not modeled explicitly and it is assumed that b is large enough to ensure that (6.11.10) is satisfied for all thermomechanical processes with growth.
The elastic dilatation \(J_e\) for the growing tissue is determined by integrating the evolution equation
which includes the external rate of mass supply \(r_m\). Following the work in [23] and using the modification in [24], \(r_m\) is specified by
so the evolution equation for the elastic dilatation \(J_e\) becomes
Also, the symmetric, positive-definite, unimodular tensor \({\mathbf {B}_e^\prime }\) that characterizes elastic distortional deformations is determined by the evolution equation
where \({\mathbf {H}}\) is a positive-definite, symmetric tensor and \({\mathbf {H}^\prime }\) is its unimodular part. These evolution equations model homeostasis, which is the process that causes a tendency for \(J_e\) to approach its homeostatic value \(J_h\) and for \({\mathbf {B}_e^\prime }\) to approach its homeostatic value \({\mathbf {H}^\prime }\). In particular, it can be seen that in the absence of loading \(({\mathbf {L}}= 0)\) the rates at which \(J_e\) and \( {\mathbf {B}_e^\prime }\) approach their homeostatic values \(J_h \) and \({\mathbf {H}^\prime }\) are controlled by the functions \(\Gamma _m\) and \( \Gamma \), respectively. Moreover, it is noted that the modified form (6.11.12) simplifies the numerical algorithm for solving the evolution Eq. (6.11.13). Also, the two nontrivial invariants of \({\mathbf {B}_e^\prime }\) satisfy the equations
where \({\mathbf {B}_e^{\prime \prime }}\) is the deviatoric part of \({\mathbf {B}_e^\prime }\).
In this model, the Cauchy stress \({\mathbf {T}}\) is a function of the elastic deformations \(J_e,{\mathbf {B}_e^\prime }\) and the temperature \(\theta \)
This constitutive equation is restricted so that zero-stress material states occur whenever the elastic deformations are given by \(J_e=1\) and \( {\mathbf {B}_e^\prime }= {\mathbf {I}}\) and the temperature equals the zero-stress reference temperature \(\theta =\theta _z\),
It is well known that the homeostatic state of the skin on the human body is not in a zero-stress material state. For this reason, surgeons cut the skin parallel to tension lines to minimize scarring. Within the context of this model, the stress in the homeostatic state of the tissue can be nonzero
In particular, constitutive equations can be proposed for the homeostatic values \(J_h\) and \( {\mathbf {H}^\prime }\) of \(J_e\) and \( {\mathbf {B}_e^\prime }\), respectively, to ensure that the stress field in the homeostatic state of the tissue matches measured nonzero values. Additional constitutive equations need to be proposed for the homeostasis rates \(\Gamma _m\) and \( \Gamma \).
Zero-Stress Growth:
To understand the influence of the homeostatic values \(J_h\) of \(J_e\) and \({\mathbf {H}^\prime }\) of \({\mathbf {B}_e^\prime }\), it is convenient to consider zero-stress growth (6.11.17) for which the evolution Eqs. (6.11.13) and (6.11.14) require
where \({\mathbf {D}}_z^{\prime \prime }\) denotes the deviatoric part of the zero-stress rate of deformation value \({\mathbf {D}}_z\) of \({\mathbf {D}}\) for zero-stress growth. As a special case, specify \({\mathbf {H}}\) in the form
where \({\mathbf {H}}^{{\prime }{\prime }}\) is the deviatoric part of \({\mathbf {H}}\) and its magnitude is bounded to ensure that \({\mathbf {H}}\) remains positive-definite. It then follows that (6.11.19) can be solved for the zero-stress growth rate \({\mathbf {D}}_z\) to obtain
Since \(\Gamma _m\) is non-negative, it follows that \(J_h>1\) causes a volumetric rate of contraction and \(J_h<1\) causes a volumetric rate of expansion. Moreover, the deviatoric part \({\mathbf {D}}_z^{{\prime \prime }}\) of \({\mathbf {D}}_z\) is in the opposite direction to \({\mathbf {H}}^{{\prime }{\prime }}\). Furthermore, the limited magnitude of \({\mathbf {H}}^{\prime \prime }\) does not limit the magnitude of \({\mathbf {D}}_z^{\prime \prime }\), which is determined by the value of \(\Gamma \).
In a review of growth in living systems, Kuhl [13] presented evolution equations which model volumetric, area and fiber growth. Elastic deformation measures \(J_e,\lambda _n\) and \( \lambda _s\) associated with these growth processes and used in elastically anisotropic constitutive equations were developed in [23]. In addition, expressions for the homeostatic values \(J_h\) and \( {\mathbf {H}^\prime }\) and the homeostasis rates \(\Gamma _m\) and \( \Gamma \) associated with these growth processes were discussed in [23].
Elastic Volumetric Growth :
The elastic dilatation \(J_e\) associated with this growth process satisfies the evolution Eq. (6.11.13).
Elastic Area Growth :
The elastic area stretch \(\lambda _n\) associated with growth of an area element on a material surface with unit normal vector \({\mathbf {n}}\) in the current configuration is motivated by expressions for the material area element da and the unit normal \({\mathbf {n}}\) to a material surface. To develop these expressions, it is convenient to define the second-order tensor \({\mathbf {N}}\) by
which should not be confused with the unit normal vector \({\mathbf {N}}\) in Nanson’s formula (3.3.35). Moreover, using the result (3.5.26)
it can be shown that \({\mathbf {N}}\) satisfies the evolution equation
Also, using (3.3.35) is can be shown that
Motivated by this expression, the elastic area stretch \(\lambda _n\) is defined by
Then, with the help of the evolution Eqs. (6.11.13), (6.11.14) and (6.11.24), the elastic area stretch \(\lambda _n\) satisfies the evolution equation
Elastic Fiber Growth :
The elastic fiber stretch \(\lambda _s\) associated with growth of a fiber in the direction of the unit vector \({\mathbf {s}}\) in the current configuration is motivated by expressions for the stretch \(\lambda \) and unit direction \({\mathbf {s}}\) of a material fiber. To develop these expressions, it is convenient to define the second-order tensor \({\mathbf {S}}\) by
which should not be confused with the unit vector \({\mathbf {S}}\) in (3.3.12a) or the symmetric Piola-Kirchhoff stress in (4.6.14). Moreover, using the result (3.5.22)
it can be shown that \({\mathbf {S}}\) satisfies the evolution equation
Also, using (3.3.8) and (3.3.12c) it can be shown that
Motivated by this expression, the elastic fiber stretch \(\lambda _s\) is defined by
Then, with the help of the evolution Eqs. (6.11.13), (6.11.14) and (6.11.30), the elastic fiber stretch \(\lambda _s\) satisfies the evolution equation
Constitutive Equations:
Following the work in [23], the constitutive equations for an elastically anisotropic thermoelastic material with growth are proposed in the forms
where the non-negative function \(\bar{\kappa }\) that represents the heat conduction coefficient should not be confused with an isotropic hardening variable \(\kappa \). Then, using the evolution Eqs. (6.11.13), (6.11.15), (6.11.27) and (6.11.33), the stress \({\mathbf {T}}\) and entropy \(\eta \) are specified by
Notice that the component of stress due to the elastic area stretch \(\lambda _n\) is isotropic in the plane normal to \({\mathbf {n}}\) and the stress due to the elastic fiber stretch \(\lambda _s\) is in the \({\mathbf {S}}\) direction. Also, the stress \({\mathbf {T}}\) can be written in terms of the pressure p and its deviatoric part \({\mathbf {T}^{\prime \prime }}\), such that
Modeling Area Growth:
To model area growth, it is assumed that the growth is isotropic in a material surface that has unit normal \({\mathbf {n}}\) in the current configuration and \({\mathbf {H}^\prime }\) is specified by
where \({\mathbf {N}}\) is defined by (6.11.22), \({\mathbf {n}}\) is defined by the evolution Eq. (6.11.23) and h is a positive scalar that controls the rate of area growth which needs to be specified by an evolution equation for \(\dot{h}\).
To understand the implications of the constitutive form (6.11.37), consider the special case when the velocity gradient \({\mathbf {L}}\) is specified by
with a and \(\lambda \) being arbitrary functions of time. For this velocity field, it follows from (6.11.23) and (6.11.24) that \({\mathbf {n}}\) and \({\mathbf {N}}\) remain constant. Using (6.11.27) and [(6.11.33) with \({\mathbf {S}}\) replaced by \({\mathbf {N}}\)], it can be shown that a represents the area stretch of the material surface that is normal to \({\mathbf {n}}\) and \(\lambda \) represents the stretch of a material fiber that is normal to this material surface.
Next, \({\mathbf {B}_e^\prime }\) and its inverse are specified by
where \(b_e\) is a positive scalar to be determined. Using this expression, it follows that h is the homeostatic value of the elastic stretch \(b_e\) of the fiber normal to the material surface. Moreover, the distortional invariant \(\alpha _1\) in (6.11.15), the elastic area stretch \(\lambda _n\) in (6.11.26) and the elastic fiber stretch \(\lambda _s\) in (6.11.32) with \({\mathbf {S}}\) replaced by \({\mathbf {N}}\), become
In addition, the evolution Eqs. (6.11.13) and (6.11.14) yield two scalar equations to determine \(J_e\) and \( b_e\) of the forms
Therefore, steady-state solutions of these equations exist with
being constants, such that
In particular, area growth can occur without extension in the \({\mathbf {n}}\) direction with
and area growth can occur without volume change with
Modeling Fiber Growth:
To model fiber growth, it is assumed that the growth is isotropic in a surface normal to the unit direction \({\mathbf {s}}\) of the fiber in the current configuration and \({\mathbf {H}^\prime }\) is specified by
where \({\mathbf {S}}\) is defined by (6.11.28), \({\mathbf {s}}\) is defined by the evolution Eq. (6.11.29) and h is a positive scalar that controls the rate of fiber growth which needs to be specified by an evolution equation for \(\dot{h}\).
To understand the implications of the constitutive form (6.11.46), consider the special case when the velocity gradient \({\mathbf {L}}\) is specified by
with a and \(\lambda \) being arbitrary functions of time. For this velocity field, it follows from (6.11.29) and (6.11.30) that \({\mathbf {s}}\) and \({\mathbf {S}}\) remain constant. Using [(6.11.27) with \({\mathbf {N}}\) replaced by \({\mathbf {S}}\)] and (6.11.33), it can be shown that a represents the area stretch of the material surface that is normal to \({\mathbf {s}}\) and \(\lambda \) represents the stretch of the material fiber that is in the direction \({\mathbf {s}}\).
Next, \({\mathbf {B}_e^\prime }\) and its inverse are specified in the forms (6.11.39) with \({\mathbf {N}}\) replaced by \({\mathbf {S}}\)
where \(b_e\) is a positive scalar to be determined. Using this expression, it follows that h is the homeostatic value of the elastic stretch \(b_e\) of the fiber in the direction \({\mathbf {s}}\) normal to the material surface. Moreover, the distortional invariant \(\alpha _1\) in (6.11.15), the elastic area stretch \(\lambda _n\) in [(6.11.26) with \({\mathbf {N}}\) replaced by \({\mathbf {S}}\)] and the elastic fiber stretch \(\lambda _s\) in (6.11.32) are given by (6.11.40). In addition, the evolution Eqs. (6.11.13) and (6.11.14) yield two scalar Eq. (6.11.41) to determine \(J_e\) and \( b_e\). Therefore, steady-state solutions of these equations exist with
being constants, such that
In particular, fiber growth can occur without area change normal to the fiber with
and fiber growth can occur without volume change with
which is the same as the solution (6.11.45).
Modeling Muscle Activation :
These equations have also been used to model muscle activation and details can be found in [23].
6.12 Jump Conditions for the Thermomechanical Balance Laws
The purpose of this section is to develop jump conditions for the global thermomechanical balance laws. Specifically, it is recalled from Sect. 6.2 that within the context of the thermomechanical theory proposed by Green and Naghdi [7, 8], the current mass density \(\rho \), the current position \({\mathbf {x}}\) of a material point and the absolute temperature \(\theta \) are determined by the global forms of the conservation of mass and the balances of linear momentum and entropy (6.2.1)
Moreover, the balance of angular momentum (6.2.2) and the balance of energy (6.2.3)
are identically satisfied for all thermomechanical processes.
The discussion in Sect. 3.10 considered the material region P with closed material boundary \({\partial }P\) to be divided into two parts \(P_1\) and \(P_2\) by the singular S(t) that moves through the material (see Fig. 6.3). Furthermore, the intersection of \({\partial }P_1\) with \({\partial }P\) was denoted by \({\partial }P^{\prime }\) and the intersection of \({\partial }P_2\) with \({\partial }P\) was denoted by \({\partial }P^{\prime \prime }\). Mathematically, this separation is summarized by (3.10.14)
A discussion of the motion of singular surfaces in fluid mechanics can be found in [34].
Next, the generalized transport theorem (3.10.16) is given by
where points on this singular surface move with velocity \({\mathbf {w}}\) and the unit normal to S(t) outward from the part \(P_1\) is denoted by \({\mathbf {n}}\). Also, the jump operator \([[ {\varvec{\phi }}]]\) is defined by (3.10.17)
where \({\varvec{\phi }}_1\) and \({\mathbf {v}}_1\) are the values of \({\varvec{\phi }}\) and \({\mathbf {v}}\) in part \(P_1\) and \({\varvec{\phi }}_2\) and \({\mathbf {v}}_2\) are the values of \({\varvec{\phi }}\) and \({\mathbf {v}}\) in part \(P_2\), all evaluated on the singular surface S(t). In addition, \({\mathbf {w}}\) and \({\mathbf {n}}\) are the same on both sides of S(t) (3.10.18)
Now, it is assumed that the local forms of the balance laws (6.12.1)
and the local forms of the balance laws (6.12.2)
are valid in each part \(P_1\) and \(P_2\) where use has been made of the expression for (4.3.24) for the traction vector \({\mathbf {t}}\)
Applying the generalized tranport theorem (6.12.4) to the global form (6.12.1a) of the conservation of mass and using the local Eq. (6.12.7a) in each of the parts \(P_1\) and \(P_2\) yields
Assuming continuity of the integrand along S(t) requires the jump condition on mass
to be valid for all points on S(t).
Since the internal rate of entropy production \(\xi \) in the balance of entropy can be singular at the singular surface, this balance law needs special attention so it will be used as an example for the other balance laws. Specifically, due to this singularity, it follows that
where it is assumed that the singularity in \(\xi \) is integrable across S(t) to yield the finite value \(\Xi \). In contrast, the external rate of entropy supply s is assumed to be bounded across S(t) so that
Now, applying the generalized transport theorem (6.12.4) to the rate of change of entropy and using (6.12.11) and the local Eqs. (6.12.7a) and (6.12.7c) yields
However, application of the divergence theorem yields
so that
Thus, with the help of (6.12.12) and (6.12.13), (6.12.14) can be rewritten in the form
Now, using the global balance laws (6.12.1c) and assuming continuity of the integrand over S(t) requires the jump condition on entropy
to be valid for all points on S(t).
Following this same procedure for the other balance laws and assuming that \(\rho {\mathbf {b}}\) and \(\theta \) are bounded across S(t), the jump conditions for balance laws (6.12.1) can be summarized as
and the jump conditions for the balance laws (6.12.2) can be summarized as
where m is defined by (6.12.11) and \({\mathbf {x}}\) is continuous across S(t).
Notice that the jump in angular momentum (6.12.20a) is automatically satisfied when the jump in linear momentum (6.12.19b) is satisfied. In contrast with the local Eq. (6.12.7), the jump condition (6.12.19c) is used to determine the internal rate of entropy production \(\Xi \) due to the jump in entropy across S(t) and the jump condition (6.12.20b) on energy is used to determine the jump in temperature \(\theta \).
