Reference Map Approach to Eulerian Thermomechanics Using GENERIC
摘要
An Eulerian GENERIC model for thermo-viscoelastic materials with diffusive components is derived based on a transformation framework that maps a Lagrangian formulation to corresponding Eulerian coordinates. The key quantity describing the deformation in Eulerian coordinates is the inverse of the deformation, i.e., the reference map. The Eulerian model is formally constructed, and by reducing the GENERIC system to a damped Hamiltonian system, the isothermal limit is derived. A structure-preserving weak formulation is developed. As an example, the coupling of finite strain viscoelasticity and diffusion in a multiphase system governed by Lagrangian indicator functions is demonstrated.
