{"product_id":"9781489981745","title":"Maximum Dissipation Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics and its Geometric Structure","description":"\u003cp\u003eMaximum Dissipation: Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics and its Geometric Structure explores the thermodynamics of non-equilibrium processes in materials. 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: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Explains the theory behind thermodynamically-consistent construction of non-linear evolution equations for non-equilibrium processes \u003cbr\u003e• Provides a geometric setting for non-equilibrium thermodynamics through several standard models, which are defined as maximum dissipation processes \u003cbr\u003e• Emphasizes applications to the time-dependent modeling of soft biological tissue\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaximum 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","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47048520794352,"sku":"9781489981745","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781489981745_p0.jpg?v=1763655229","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781489981745","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
