Weakly nonlocal continuum physics - the Ginzburg-Landau equation

Abstract

Some peculiarities of the exploitation of the entropy inequality in case of weakly nonlocal continuum theories are investigated and refined. As an example it is shown that the proper application of the Liu procedure leads to the Ginzburg-Landau equation in case of a weakly nonlocal extension of the constitutive space of the simplest internal variable theories.
