THERMODYNAMICS OF PLASTIC BODIES

Abstract

The paper consists of three parts. The first contains well-known equations and relations. The second part quotes papers [3] and [5]. The third part raises the investigation of the role of the wave propagation in the case of the constitutive equation [1]. This paper generalizes the results of [1]. A new, so far unknown function is applied. In the case where the mechanical and thermodynamic waves can be independent, the conditions of the unknown functions are determined.
