Microinertia and internal variables
arXiv:1504.03485 · doi:10.1007/s00161-015-0453-2
Abstract
The origin of microinertia of micromorphic theories is investigated from the point of view of non-equilibrium thermodynamics. In the framework of dual internal variables microinertia stems from a thermodynamic equation of state related to the internal variable with the properties of mechanical momentum.
