Abstract
This paper concerns the form of the free energy function in coupled thermo-mechanical problems with isotropic damage, particularly where damage accrues through both mechanical and thermal strains, and when the material is exposed to elevated temperatures. We show that with the normal assumption of a constant specific heat coefficient, mechanical dissipation is negative and so the second law of thermodynamics is violated. This is true even for a general isotropic damage model that allows independent damage on the Young's modulus and the bulk modulus. Our approach is to make specific heat damage dependent, and under these conditions, we show positive dissipation for a range of problems; for the case of concrete, at least, there is material evidence supporting this model. For elevated temperatures, we use the logarithmic form of thermal energy, again showing positive dissipation. Comparisons between the forms show a notable difference in the energy transformed to heat, which is significant when reintroduced into the computations. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
