Thermodynamic Definition of Higher Order Elastic Coefficients

1964en

Abstract

General thermodynamic definitions of the higher order elastic coefficients of thermoelastic media are presented in tensor and engineering notation. They are natural generalizations of the customary definitions of second-order coefficients, they retain the usual conventions relating tensor and engineering stresses and strains, and they simplify thermodynamic calculations.
