title = "Irreversible thermodynamics for damage mechanics of solid materials",
abstract = "In this paper a thermodynamic framework has been presented for damage mechanics of solids materials. Traditional damage mechanics theory uses damage potential function to trace damage evolution. In this framework entropy production is used as a measure of damage in the system. As a result there is no need for physically meaningless empirical material parameters to define a damage potential function. It is assumed that entropy production is non-negative for solids.",
