Elastothermodynamic damping in composite and cracked media /

When a composite material is subjected to a stress field, different regions undergo different temperature fluctuations due to the well-known thermoelastic effect. As a result irreversible heat conduction occurs, and entropy is produced which is manifested as a conversion of mechanical energy into h...
