A viscoelastic damage model for polycrystalline ice, inspired by Weibull-distributed fiber bundle models. Part II: Thermodynamics of a rank-4 damage model

Abstract

We consider a viscoelastic–viscoplastic continuum damage model for polycrystalline ice. The focus lies on the thermodynamics particularities of such a constitutive model and restrictions on the constitutive theory which are implied by the entropy principle. We use Müller’s formulation of the entropy principle, together with Liu’s method of exploiting it with the aid of Lagrange multipliers.
