“…Incidentally, the thermodynamic description outlined in Section 2.3 provides a simple estimate of the Taylor-Quinney coefficient β, a long-standing challenge in the materials science and solid mechanics communities (e.g., Zehnder, 1991;Rosakis et al, 2000;Benzerga et al, 2005;Longère and Dragon, 2008b,a;Stainier and Ortiz, 2010;Zaera et al, 2013;Anand et al, 2015;Luscher et al, 2018) despite a vast amount of experimental efforts (e.g., Farren and Taylor, 1925;Taylor and Quinney, 1934;Hartley et al, 1987;Marchand and Duffy, 1988;Duffy and Chi, 1992;Rittel et al, 2017). The thermodynamic constraint (χ−θ)Ṡ K ≥ 0, a direct consequence of the secondlaw inequality (20), stipulates that…”
