It is applied first to simple mechanical systems and then generalized to standard generalized materials. It is shown that nonisothermal viscoplasticity can be cast into the form of GENERIC, if the dissipative structure is generalized from linear functionals to the more general subdifferential of convex potentialsapplication/pdfeng510GENERICthermodynamic variablesthermoplasticitythermoviscoelasticitythermal coupling to elasticity and plasticityenergy-driven systemsentropy-driven systemsentropy-production potentialsgeneralized standard materialsReport
