Abstract

Some peculiarities of the exploitation of the entropy inequality in the case of weakly non-local continuum theories are investigated and refined. As an example, the simplest internal variable theories are investigated. It is shown that the proper application of Liu´s procedure leads to the Ginzburg-Landau equation in the case of a weakly non-local extension of the constitutive space.

Keywords:

weakly non-load, Liu´s procedure, Ginzburg-Landau equation, non-equilibrium thermodynamics
