The book develops a general technique created in order to construct nonlinear evolution equations describing non-equilibrium processes, while also developing a geometric context for non-equilibrium thermodynamics. Solid materials are the main focus in this volume, but the construction is shown to also apply to fluids. This volume also: \n\n•\tExplains the theory behind thermodynamically-consistent construction of non-linear evolution equations for non-equilibrium processes \n•\tProvides a geometric setting for non-equilibrium thermodynamics through several standard models, which are defined as maximum dissipation processes \n•\tEmphasizes applications to the time-dependent modeling of soft biological tissue\n\n Maximum Dissipation: Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics and its Geometric Structure will be valuable for researchers, engineers and graduate students in non-equilibrium thermodynamics and the mathematical modeling of material behavior.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2014-09-19\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781489981745\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4419-7765-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 297\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49940290961548,"sku":"9781489981745","price":224.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781489981745.jpg?v=1779057079","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781489981745","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
