Abstract
AbstractIt is investigated in what sense thermoplasticity can be written as a generalized gradient system with respect to the total entropy and the entropy‐production potential. The difficulty is that the quasistatic equilibrium equation for the elastic forces is obtained by minimizing the total energy and that this condition must be eliminated suitably. The subtle interplay between energy and entropy is treated via the formalism of GENERIC (© 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
