The book develops a general technique to construct nonlinear evolution equations describing non-equilibrium processes, while also developing a geometric context for non-equilibrium thermodynamics. Solid materials are the main focus in this volume, but the construction is shown to also apply to fluids. This volume also: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Explains the theory behind a thermodynamically-consistent construction of non-linear evolution equations for non-equilibrium processes, based on supplementing the second law with a maximum dissipation criterion \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Provides a geometric setting for non-equilibrium thermodynamics in differential topology and, in particular, contact structures that generalize Gibbs \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Models processes that include thermoviscoelasticity, thermoviscoplasticity, thermoelectricity and dynamic fracture \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Recovers several standard time-dependent constitutive models as maximum dissipation processes \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Produces transport models that predict finite velocity of propagation \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Emphasizes applications to the time-dependent modeling of soft biological tissue\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eMaximum Dissipation Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics and its Geometric Structure\u003c\/i\u003e will be valuable for researchers, engineers and graduate students in non-equilibrium thermodynamics and the mathematical modeling of material behavior.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45274100007063,"sku":"9781489981745","price":15987.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781489981745.webp?v=1769238821","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/maximum-dissipation-non-equilibrium-thermodynamics-and-its-geometric-structure-9781489981745","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
