Abstract
A general variational principle associated with the non-linear theory of thermoviscoplasticity is presented. In particular, this paper shows that the use of Vainberg's theorem on non-linear potential operators and a special bilinear form using the convolution of two functions makes possible a variational formulation for non-linear initial-and-boundary value problems. Several alternate principles and their relationship with the existing variational principles are also discussed.
