Thermodynamics in solid mechanics (74A15)

Abstract: We show that the thermodynamic dislocation theory (TDT) predicts a scaling relation between stresses, strain rates, and temperatures for steady-state deformations of crystalline solids, and that this relation is accurately obeyed by a wide range of experimental data for both aluminum and copper. Unlike conventional phenomenological dislocation theories, the TDT is based on the second law of thermodynamics. Its success implies that descriptions of solid deformation that are not based on the statistical mechanics of nonequilibrium processes cannot be relied upon to be predictive. Thus there is an urgent need -- and a new opportunity -- to revitalize this central part of materials physics.
