Restrictions on the Material Coefficients in the Constitutive Theories for Non-Classical Viscous Fluent Continua ()
1. Introduction, Literature Review, and Scope of Work
In fluent continua, velocities are observable quantities and the deformation physics is completely contained in the velocities (
) and the velocity gradient tensor (
). Thus, the velocities and the velocity gradient tensor in their entirety must form the basis for the thermodynamic framework that describes the behavior of fluent continua. The velocity gradient tensor can be decomposed into symmetric (
) and antisymmetric tensors (
). The symmetric part represents strain rates and the antisymmetric part contains rotation rates. Alternatively, the polar decomposition of
yields right or left stretch rate tensors (
or
) and the rotation rate tensor (
). The tensors
,
, and
contain the same physics in different forms related to strain rates. Likewise,
contains rotation rates whereas
is a rotation rate matrix. The same physics of rotation rates is contained in both but in different forms. The classical continuum theories for fluent continua are derived using only
and
;
or
are not considered at all in the derivation of the conservation and balance laws and the constitutive theories.
We note that
contains rotation rates that are completely defined by the antisymmetric part of the velocity gradient tensor. We refer to these as internal rotation rates (as these arise due to
), and the associated continuum theory as non-classical continuum theory with internal rotation rates or simply non-classical internal polar continuum theory. Recent papers by Surana, et al. [1] - [10] contain details of the derivations of such non-classical continuum theories and associated constitutive theories for solid and fluent continua. Prior to these works, there have been many published works under the title couple stress theories [11] - [19] , particularly in context with solid continua that contain somewhat similar derivations, but use completely different motivation and rationale. Some concepts similar to those used in References [1] - [10] can also be traced in various different forms in the works of Eringen [20] - [28] related to micro-theories of various types.
In the present work, we consider non-classical continuum theories for fluent continua in which both
and
, that is,
in its entirety, are incorporated in deriving the conservation and balance laws and the constitutive theories for thermoviscous compressible fluids without memory. Constitutive theories are derived using the conditions resulting from entropy inequality and the representation theorem (or theory of generators and invariants). Such constitutive theories, when based on integrity, are nonlinear in most instances. The investigation presented in this paper establishes necessary restrictions on the material coefficients in the constitutive theories that ensure that the resulting constitutive theories satisfy the conditions resulting from the entropy inequality. The work presented in this paper is compared and contrasted with the published works.
In the thermodynamic framework for the non-classical continuum theory used here, we have additional physics of rotation rates due to
which, when resisted, result in conjugate moments that lead to Cauchy moment tensor (through Cauchy principle). This physics is absent in the classical continuum theory for fluent continua. Thus, it is natural to ask “are the conservation and balance laws of classical continuum theories sufficient when this new physics of rotation rates is present to ensure equilibrium of the deforming matter?’’ Surana, et al. [1] - [10] [29] [30] and Yang, et al. [31] have shown that in the case of non-classical solid and fluent continua, an additional balance law is required, the balance of moments of moments to ensure equilibrium of the deforming matter. The constitutive theories for the moment tensor are affected by the absence or the presence of this balance law. In the work presented here, we examine the constitutive theories in the presence as well as absence of this balance law for establishing restrictions on the material coefficients.
2. Notations and Definitions of Bases
The notations used in this paper conform to Reference [32] but are different than conventional notations in continuum mechanics writings. These new notations are used to provide more clarity and transparency.
,

, and surface bounding
, all in the reference or undeformed configuration, whereas
,
,

and
are Lagrangian and Eulerian descriptions of a quantity
at a material point
in the reference configuration with its corresponding location
in the current configuration.
A tetrahedron in the undeformed configuration (volume
) with its oblique plane constituting a part of surface
bounding
deforms and rotates in the current configuration. Equilibrium considerations associated with conservation and balance laws require measurement of stress, strain rates, etc. associated with the deformed tetrahedron. Two obvious choices are covariant and contravariant bases. If the edges of the tetrahedron in the undeformed configuration represent material lines, then upon finite deformation the material lines will become curvilinear. The tangent vectors to these deformed lines at a material point (a point from which the material lines emanate) forming the edges of the deformed tetrahedron are covariant base vectors (
). The vectors orthogonal to the faces of the deformed tetrahedron (formed by the covariant base vectors) are called contravariant base vectors (
).
and
form nonorthogonal covariant and contravariant bases that are reciprocal to each other. Since the covariant base vectors are tangent to the deformed material lines, the convected time derivative of the covariant strain tensor is a physical measure of the strain rate tensor. Likewise the contravariant directions normal to the faces of the tetrahedron is a natural way to define stress tensor. Thus, we define
as contravariant Cauchy stress tensor,
as the first convected time derivative of the Green’s strain tensor. These measures are physical as these are related to the faces and edges of the true deformed tetrahedron. Since
and
form reciprocal bases, we could also use covariant directions for stress measure and contravarian directions for strain rate measures, i.e.,
and
, covariant Cauchy stress tensor and contravariant strain rate tensor. Mathematically this is justified, however in terms of physics, this description requires
to be normal to the tetrahedron faces and
to be the material line tangent vectors. In other words, this description requires a new configuration of the actual deformed tetrahedron that is non-physical. When strain rates are small, the two measures are the same as the deformed and undeformed configurations are virtually the same.
3. Internal Rotation Rates and Their Gradients
Velocities (
) and velocity gradients (
) are fundamental measures of deformation physics in fluent continua, hence these in their entirety must form the basis for a complete thermodynamic framework. Polar decomposition of the changing velocity gradient tensor in the deforming fluent continua into stretch rates and pure rotation rates shows that a location and its neighboring locations can experience different rotation rates during deformation. Alternatively, we can also consider decomposition of the velocity gradient tensor into symmetric and antisymmetric tensors. The symmetric tensor is a measure of strain rates whereas the antisymmetric tensor is a measure of pure rotation rates. The measures of internal rotation rates due to deformation in the two approaches describe the same physics but in different forms. Polar decomposition gives rotation rate matrix and not the rotation angle rates whereas the antisymmetric part of the velocity gradient tensor yields rotation angle rates that are explicitly defined in terms of velocity gradients.
If the varying internal rotation rates between the neighboring locations are resisted by the fluent continua, then there must exist conjugate internal moments corresponding to these. The internal rotation rates and the conjugate moments can result in additional energy storage and/or dissipation as well as memory. Since this physics of internal rotation rates arises due to
, it exists in all deforming isotropic, homogeneous fluent continua. Incorporating entirety of
in the conservation and balance laws implies that we incorporate the additional physics due to internal rotation rates in the existing thermodynamic framework as the physics due to the symmetric part of velocity gradient tensor is already present in it. The internal rotation rates can be visualized as the rotation rates about the axes of a triad located at a material point (or location) whose axes are parallel to the fixed Cartesian x-frame. We present details in the following. The velocity gradient tensor
can be decomposed into pure rotation rate tensor
and the right and left stretch rate tensors

Furthermore, using

The rotation rates in (12) are in clockwise sense, whereas quantities in (15) are twice the magnitude compared to (12) and are in counterclockwise sense. We note that
, the antisymmetric part of
, has rotation rates whereas
from the polar decomposition of
is a transformation matrix related to rotation rates. The details in both are related to rotation rates and are derived using
, hence use of
or
is interchangeable depending upon the need. Another important point we note is that from (11),
is undoubtedly a tensor of rank two. This is also obvious from (13) containing
term. However, the rotation rates
as in (12) can be viewed as a vector quantity. That is, the three rotations about the axes of a triad at a material point can be arranged in the form of a vector. This form is advantageous when determining gradients of the rotation rates (shown later). We clearly observe that
are completely defined by the components of
, i.e., dependent on the components of
, therefore are not unknown degrees of freedom at a material point or at a location. Definition of
from (9) or (10) clearly shows that it is a tensor of rank two, i.e.,

The gradient of
in (16) can be written as

Clearly
, i.e., gradient of

4. Considerations of Stress, Moment, and Strain Rate Tensors
When the velocity gradient tensor varies between neighboring material points (or locations), so do the internal rotation rates
. Hence, the rotation rate tensor
can vary between the material points. When the rotation rates
are resisted by the deforming fluent continua, conjugate moments are created.
and conjugate moments can result in additional energy storage, dissipation, and rheology, in addition to dissipation, rheology, etc., which are already present due to Cauchy stress tensor and the strain rate tensor. Thus, in the deforming fluent continua, rotation rates
are conjugate to the moment tensor which necessitates that on the boundary of the deformed volume there must exist resultant moment.
Consider a volume of matter
in the reference configuration with closed boundary
. The volume
is isolated from
by a hypothetical surface
as in the cut principle of Cauchy. Consider a tetrahedron
such that its oblique plane is part of
and its other three planes are orthogonal to each other and parallel to the planes of the x-frame. Upon deformation,
and
occupy
and
and likewise
and
deform into
and
. The tetrahedron
deforms into
whose edges (under finite deformation) are non-orthogonal covariant base vectors
. The planes of the tetrahedron formed by the covariant base vectors are flat but obviously non-orthogonal to each other. We assume the tetrahedron to be the small neighborhood of material point
so that the assumption of the oblique plane
being flat but still part of
is valid. When the deformed tetrahedron is isolated from volume
it must be in equilibrium under the action of disturbance on surface
from the volume surrounding
and the internal fields that act on the flat faces which equilibrate with the mating faces in volume
when the tetrahedron
is placed back in the volume
.
Consider the deformed tetrahedron
. Let
be the average stress per unit area on plane
,
be the average moment per unit area on plane
(henceforth referred to as moment for short), and
be the unit exterior normal to the face
.
,
, and
all have different directions when the deformation is finite [32] .
As mentioned earlier, the edges of the deformed tetrahedron are covariant base vectors
that are tangent to deformed curvilinear material lines:
(22)
and
(23)
The columns of
are covariant base vectors
that form non-orthogonal covariant basis. Contravariant base vectors
are normal to the faces of the deformed tetrahedron formed by the covariant base vectors:
(24)
and
(25)
The rows of
are contravariant base vectors
. These form a non-orthogonal contravariant basis. Covariant and contravariant bases are reciprocal to each other [32] .
4.1. Contravariant Cauchy Stress Tensor
The definition of the stresses on the non-oblique faces of the deformed tetrahedron formed by the covariant base vectors
in the contravariant directions orthogonal to the faces of the deformed tetrahedron is most natural. Let
or
be the contravariant stress tensor with components
or
with dyads
. Component
or
is in the
direction on a face of the tetrahedron with unit exterior normal
, i.e., on the
face. Likewise
or
and
or
act on
and
faces in the
and
directions. Using dyads
or contravariant law of transformation, we can write [32]
(26)
Using (22) in (26), we can write
(27)
is a contravariant Cauchy stress tensor (Lagrangian description) from which
can be easily obtained by replacing
by
and
by
in (27). Since the dyads of
or
are
, the Cauchy principle holds between
and
.
(28)
4.2. Covariant Cauchy Stress Tensor
Instead of using contravariant directions and stress components
and covariant basis
, we could use covariant stress components
or
and contravariant basis
. Consideration of
of course will require a different deformed tetrahedron such that covariant base vectors
are normal to its oblique faces. The adverse consequences of choosing this measure of stress for finite deformation are discussed by Surana, et al. [32] [33] . Here we proceed with this measure as an alternative to the contravariant stress measure. Using dyads
and components
, we can write [32]
(29)
And using (24)
(30)
is the covariant Cauchy stress tensor (Eulerian description) from which
can be obtained by replacing
with
and
with
in (30). Since the dyads of
are
, the Cauchy principle holds between
and
.
(31)
Remarks.
The Cauchy stress tensors
or
and
or
are non-symmetric at this stage and so are the stress tensors
and
. Following the details given in Reference [32] we can also define Jaumann stress tensor
using
and
stress measures.
4.3. Contravariant and Covariant Cauchy Moment Tensor
When the deformed tetrahedron with moment
on its oblique face
is isolated from the volume
, its faces will have existence of moments (per unit area) on them. As in case of stress measure, contravariant basis is the most natural way to define these. Following the notations parallel to those used in case of Cauchy stress tensors, we can write the following using contravariant measures of moment tensor:
(32)
Using (22) in (32) we obtain
(33)
and the Cauchy principle
(34)
Likewise when using covariant measure of moment tensor we have
(35)
And using (24) in (35) we obtain
(36)
and the Cauchy principle
(37)
As in case of stress tensors
and
, the moment tensors
and
are also non-symmetric at this stage.
4.4. Convected Time Derivatives of the Stress and Strain Tensors
Convected time derivatives of strain and stress tensors in covariant and contravariant bases play an important role in the Eulerian description, especially in
constitutive theories. If we define
and
covariant and contrava-
riant Cauchy stress tensors and
and
as corresponding second
Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensors, then the convected time derivatives of
and
in co- and contravariant bases are defined by
and
;
and are given by the following for compressible matter [32] .
(38)
and
(39)
and Jaumann rates are defined as
(40)
If
and
are Green’s and Almansi strain tensors in co- and contravariant bases, then their convected time derivatives
and
;
are defined as [32]
(41)
and
(42)
and Jaumann rates
;
are defined as
(43)
In classical continuum theories for thermoviscous fluids without memory [32] , only stress rates of order zero, i.e.,
,
, and
, are used in the ordered rate constitutive theories of up to order n [32] . In such theories,
,
, and
;
are considered as argument tensors (in addition to some others) of
,
, and
, respectively. Thus, the Cauchy stress tensor and the constitutive theory for it are basis dependent. In the derivations of the conservation and balance laws and the constitutive theories, we choose basis independent
as Cauchy stress tensor which could be
,
, or
;
.
;
convected time derivatives are considered as arguments of
which could be
,
, or
. These choices of
and
;
make all derivations hold for any desired choice of stress measure and the corresponding convected time derivatives of the strain measures. In case of non-classical theories considered here, exactly the same notation is used except that the Cauchy stress tensor is not symmetric, thus
;
cannot be the argument tensors of
, but can be paired with it. Similarly, the Cauchy moment tensor choice can be
,
, or
, depending upon the choice of basis. In the derivations and the details that follow, we consider
and
as Cauchy stress and moment tensors. With these choices the details that follow hold for any desired choice of basis.
5. Conservation and Balance Laws
The non-classical continuum theory used in this paper for fluent continua incorporates new physics due to internal rotation rates that are defined by
, hence known. This new physics is absent in the currently used thermodynamic framework for fluent continua. Introduction of this new physics may influence some or all conservation and balance laws which can only be determined by initiating their derivations from the most fundamental stage as we do in classical continuum theories [32] [34] . In this process of deriving conservation and balance laws with the new rotation rate physics we may very well find that some conservation and balance laws are not affected; however, such conclusions without rigorous derivations are not possible. In the non-classical continuum theory for fluent continua with velocities, velocity gradients, strain rate tensor, internal rotation rates, and their gradients describing the kinematics of deformation, we must at least consider the following conservation and balance laws based on the assumption of thermodynamic equilibrium that are used for classical continuum theories during the evolution of the deforming matter: 1) conservation of mass, 2) balance of linear momenta, 3) balance of angular momenta, 4) first law of thermodynamics (i.e., balance of energy), and 5) second law of thermodynamics (i.e., entropy inequality).
The use of conservation and balance laws that are necessary for classical continuum theories for non-classical continuum theories with additional physics due to internal rotation rates raises a fundamental concern: are these sufficient to ensure equilibrium of deforming non-classical fluent continua? It is pointed out by Yang, et al. [31] that an additional balance law is required in non-classical continuum theories for solids incorporating internal rotations (also see [29] [30] ) arising from the Jacobian of deformation. In case of fluent continua, the existence of internal rotation rates due to the velocity gradient tensor necessitates an additional balance law to ensure that in the presence of this physics the entire volume of fluid will remain in equilibrium. In recent papers by Surana, et al. [29] [30] , comprehensive discussion of the work of Yang, et al. [31] as well as authors’ own view regarding the need for this additional balance law in non-classical continuum theories for solid and fluid continua have been presented. This is not repeated here for the sake of brevity. The readers can refer to References [29] [30] [31] .
Balance of moments of moments (similar to balance of moments of forces in classical continuum theory) is an additional balance law needed due to the presence of Cauchy moment tensor that is independent of forces. In the derivation presented subsequently, one notes that this balance law yields the Cauchy moment tensor to be symmetric, just like the balance of angular momenta in classical continuum theory gives rise to the symmetry of the Cauchy stress tensor. One can use inductive reasoning to extend this concept of the need for additional balance laws when additional kinematic variables (over and beyond velocities and rotation rates) and their conjugates appear in the theory. One notes that each additional kinematic variable introduces its conjugate that requires two balance laws, out of which the balance law that requires their sum to balance with others already exists from the consideration of prior kinematic variables; hence the new conjugate quantities can be incorporated in it, but the other balance law that requires balance of their moments is an additional balance law. In other words, only one balance law is needed for each conjugate quantity corresponding to each kinematic variable.
In the non-classical continuum theory considered here for fluent continua, we need only one additional balance law, namely the balance of moments of moments, due to the fact that balance of moments balance law already exists from the classical continuum theory. Whether we consider balance of moments of moments as an additional balance law in non-classical continuum theories for fluent continua influences the derivation of the constitutive theories for the Cauchy moment tensor. In the present work we consider both cases and the associated constitutive theories to establish restrictions on the material coefficients appearing in them.
5.1. Conservation of Mass, Balance of Linear and Angular Momenta
We consider compressible fluent non-classical continua with internal rotation rates to present conservation and balance laws. For incompressible fluent continua,
and
, hence the conservation and balance laws presented here can be easily modified.
Conservation of mass in a deforming volume of fluid leads to continuity equation that remains the same in the present work as it is for the classical continuum theory [32] [34] and is given in the following for compressible fluent continua in Eulerian description.
(44)
or
(45)
in which
is the density at a material point at
in the current configuration.
For a deforming volume of matter, the rate of change of linear momenta must be equal to the sum of all other forces acting on it. This is Newton’s second law applied to a volume of matter. The derivation is exactly same as that for classical continuum theory. Following Reference [32] and using Cauchy stress tensor
, we can write the following.
(46)
or
(47)
in which
are body forces per unit mass and
is basis independent Cauchy stress tensor. Equations (46) or (47) are momentum equations in
,
, and
directions.
The principle of balance of angular momenta for a non-classical continuum can be stated as: The material derivative (time rate of change) of moments of momenta must be equal to the vector sum of the moments of forces and the moments. Thus, due to the surface stress
, total surface moment
(per unit area), body force
(per unit mass), and the momentum
for an elemental mass
in the current configuration we can write the following in Eulerian description.
(48)
The negative sign for
is due to the fact that clockwise rotation rates are considered positive. The moments created by these must also be considered positive when clockwise. Following the derivation given by Surana, et al. [1] - [6] , we obtain
(49)
Since volume
is arbitrary, we have
(50)
or
(51)
Equation (51) represents balance of angular momenta. The basis independent Cauchy stress tensor
is non-symmetric and so is the basis independent Cauchy moment tensor
.
5.2. First Law of Thermodynamics
The sum of work and heat added to a deforming volume of matter must result in increase of the energy of the system. This is expressed as a rate equation in Eulerian description in the following.
(52)
,
, and
are total energy, heat added, and work done. These can be written as [1] - [6] [32]
(53)
(54)
(55)
where
is specific internal energy,
is body force vector per unit mass, and
is rate of heat. Note that the additional term
in
contributes additional rate of work due to rates of internal rotations
. Expanding integrals and following Reference [32] , one can show the following.
(56)
Since volume
is arbitrary, the following holds:
(57)
We note that in the term
we can substitute
from the balance of angular momenta (51), thereby eliminating gradients of
but instead introducing Cauchy stress tensor
.
5.3. Second Law of Thermodynamics
Let
be entropy density in deformed volume
,
be the entropy flux between
and the volume of matter surrounding it (i.e., contacting sources), and
be the source of entropy in
due to non-contacting bodies, then the rate of increase of entropy in volume
is at least equal to that supplied to
from all contacting and non-contacting sources [32] . Thus
(58)
Using Cauchy’s postulate for
, we have
(59)
(60)
Since the volume
is arbitrary, the following holds:
(61)
Using
(62)
where
is the absolute temperature,
is the heat vector, and
is a suitable potential. Substituting for (
) from energy equation (after inserting
term in it) and expressing Helmholtz free energy density in terms of
,
, and
(
), we can derive the following for (61) [1] - [6] [32] :
(63)
in which
is the gradient of internal rotation rates. Inequality (63) resulting from the second law of thermodynamics is the most fundamental form of entropy inequality in Helmholtz free energy density
.
5.4. Balance of Moments of Moments as a Balance Law
In a deforming volume of matter, conservation and balance laws ensure thermodynamic equilibrium. Thus, in classical continuum theories, conservation of mass, balance of linear and angular momenta, and the first and second laws of thermodynamics must be satisfied. In non-classical continuum theories for solids and fluids incorporating the internal rotations (due to Jacobian of deformation) and the internal rotation rates (due to velocity gradient tensor), are the conservation and balance laws for classical continuum theories sufficient to ensure equilibrium of the deforming matter?
Yang, et al. [31] pointed out, using geometric considerations, that in non-classical continuum theories, an additional balance law, balance of moments of moments, is required to ensure equilibrium of the deforming solid matter. Surana, et al. [1] - [10] have used this concept successfully. More recently Surana, et al. [29] [30] showed theoretically as well as through model problems that in the case of non-classical continuum theories the balance of moments of moments is a necessary balance law. In the absence of this balance law the constitutive theories for non-classical solid and fluent continua become non-physical and spurious.
Balance of moments of moments (similar to balance of moments of forces in classical continuum theory) is additional balance law needed due to the presence of Cauchy moment tensor
that is independent of forces. In the derivation presented subsequently, one notes that this balance law yields the Cauchy moment tensor
to be symmetric, just like the balance of angular momenta in classical continuum theory gives rise to the symmetry of the Cauchy stress tensor. One can use inductive reasoning to extend this concept of the need for additional balance laws when additional kinematic variables (over and beyond velocities and rotation rates) and their conjugates appear in the theory. One notes that each additional kinematic variable introduces its conjugate that requires two balance laws, out of which the balance law that requires their sum to balance with others already exists from the consideration of prior kinematic variables; hence the new conjugate quantities can be incorporated in it, but the other balance law that requires balance of their moments is an additional balance law. In other words, only one balance law is needed for each conjugate quantity corresponding to each kinematic variable [6] .
In the non-classical continuum theory considered here for fluent continua, we need only one additional balance law, namely the balance of moments of moments, due to the fact that balance of moments balance law already exists from the classical continuum theory. Consider the current configuration at time t. Consider Eulerian description. For the deforming volume of fluid to be in equilibrium, moments of moments (or couples) must vanish. In the moments of moments balance law, we must consider
and also the shear components of the stress tensor
, that is,
. Thus, we can write the following (neglecting inertial terms) in Eulerian description.
(64)
We expand the second term in (64) and then convert the integral over
to the integral over
using the divergence theorem and use balance of angular momenta for further simplification to obtain the following:
(65)
and since
is arbitrary, we obtain the following form:
(66)
Equation (66) implies that the Cauchy moment tensor
is symmetric. Thus in the non-classical continuum theory presented here for fluent continua, the Cauchy moment tensor is symmetric if the new balance law is used but the Cauchy stress tensor is always non-symmetric. In the classical continuum theory, the Cauchy stress tensor is symmetric and the Cauchy moment tensor does not exist as the rotation rates are not considered in the theory. We remark here also as we did in our earlier papers [9] [10] [29] [30] that in most reported works on non-classical theories (specifically for solids) except Reference [31] this balance law is not considered. As a consequence the Cauchy moment tensor remains non-symmetric, requiring additional constitutive theories for the non-symmetric part of the moment tensor. However, the constitutive theory for the symmetric part of Cauchy moment tensor remains the same regardless of whether one uses balance of moments of moments as a balance law. In this paper we consider both cases, i.e., symmetric
as well as non-symmetric
(in the absence of balance of moments of moments). The resulting constitutive theories are compared and the material coefficients and the restrictions on them are established.
6. Constitutive Theories
In this section we present constitutive theories for compressible non-classical fluent continua with dissipation when the balance of moments of moments is not considered as a balance law. Thus,

as well as
. When the balance of moments of moments is used as an additional balance law,
, hence, there is no constitutive theory for
. The constitutive theories for incompressible fluids can be easily obtained using the constitutive theories presented here for compressible case by imposing restriction that
and
. These details are intentionally omitted for the sake of brevity.
From entropy inequality as well as other balance laws it is straightforward to conclude that
,
,
,
,
, and
are the constitutive variables. A decision on their argument tensors is facilitated if we can establish rate of work conjugate pairs from the entropy inequality. From the entropy inequality (63) we note that
and
are conjugate, but both of the trace terms contain non-symmetric tensors, hence these are not conjugate pairs [35] - [54] .
Consider decomposition of
,
,
, and
into symmetric and antisymmetric tensors
(67)
Note that
(68)
and
(69)
(70)
Using (67) - (70), the entropy inequality (63) reduces to
(71)
In
and
both tensors are symmetric and in
both tensors are antisymmetric, hence these are rate of work conjugate pairs. Likewise, in
,
and
are conjugate as well.
We consider
,
,
,
,
, and
as possible dependent variables in the constitutive theories. For compressible fluent continua, density must be incorporated as an argument of all dependent variables in the constitutive theories. We note that compressibility is due to determinant of the Jacobian
of deformation
. Recall that in Lagrangian description (from
continuity)
, hence
in which
is density in the reference configuration (constant), i.e., instead of
we can use
in Lagrangian description or
in Eulerian description as an argument of all dependent variables in the constitutive theories. At later stages
can be replaced by simply
using simple calculus. Temperature
is certainly a valid choice for thermoviscous behavior. From the conjugate pairs in (71), we note that
,
,
, and
are natural choices of argument tensors for
,
,
, and
dependent variables in the constitutive theories, respectively.
Additionally
,
,
,
, and
all must be considered as argument tensors of
and
. Thus, at this stage we have the following for the dependent variables in the constitutive theories and their argument tensors.

Using
in (72) one can obtain the material derivative of
needed in (71).

From the continuity Equation (44)

(86)
We note that even though in (86) we do have argument tensors of the dependent variables in the constitutive theory, resolution of the first term in the entropy inequality (83) is essential before we can proceed further.
Decomposition of Symmetric Cauchy Stress Tensor
We consider decomposition of
into equilibrium and deviatoric stress
tensors,
and
. The motivation for doing this is to separate the
stress tensor
into one that is purely responsible for change in volume and another one that only causes change in shape, i.e., distortion.

6.1. Constitutive Theory for Equilibrium Stress
: Compressible Thermofluids
Since

and neither is
(due to (88)), the constitutive theory for

(90)
in which
(91)
is called thermodynamic pressure and is generally referred to as equation of state [32] [34] in which
is expressed as a function of

or
and
, where

sure to be positive, then
in (90) can be replaced by
. Using (90), inequality (89) reduces to

6.2. Constitutive Theory for Equilibrium Stress
: Incompressible Thermofluids
For incompressible matter density is constant, hence
. For this case
, hence the constitutive theory for this case cannot be derived using
(90), instead we must consider
. We must incorporate the incompressibility condition in the entropy inequality. We recall that the incompressibility condition in Eulerian description is given by

Based on (93), we can write

In case of incompressible fluids

The final form of the entropy inequality is given by
(97)
This form of the entropy inequality has all the conjugate pairs needed for constitutive theories.
6.3. Final Choice of the Dependent Variables and Their Argument Tensors in the Constitutive Theories
In view of the stress decomposition, constitutive theories for

If compressive pressure is considered positive, then

The choice of argument tensors for

and
being the first convected time derivatives of Green’s and Almansi strain tensors in covariant and contravariant bases. Let
(101)
be the convected time derivatives of Green’s and Almansi strain tensors and Jaumann rates up to order n. We note that contravariant stress measure is conjugate with the covariant convected time derivatives and likewise covariant stress measure is conjugate with contravariant convected time derivatives. Thus with
as deviatoric stress measure its argument
(same as
) can be replaced by
in (98) and (99). Using the basis independent notation, we consider
(102)
in (98) for compressible case (all others remaining same) and
(103)
in (99) for incompressible case (all others remaining same).
6.4. Conditions to be Satisfied by the Constitutive Theories
The final form of the entropy inequality (97) must be satisfied by the constitutive theories for
,
,
, and
. The entropy inequality (97) is satisfied if
(104)
The inequalities in (104) imply that the rate of work due to
,
, and
(i.e.,
,
, and
) must be positive. Thus, the constitutive theories for
,
,
, and
must ensure that the inequalities in (104) are satisfied. In other words, the inequalities in (104) form the basis for determining restrictions on the material coefficients. We note that any other means of determining restrictions on the material coefficients in the constitutive theories do not have thermodynamic basis. In this paper we use inequalities (104) to determine restrictions on the material coefficients in the constitutive theories for non-classical thermoviscous compressible and incompressible fluids as well as classical fluids.
6.5. Theory of Generators and Invariants (Representation Theorem)
In the following sections we present derivations of the constitutive theories for
,
,
, and
using theory of generators and invariants (representation theorem) based on pioneering works of Spencer, Wang, Zheng, etc. [35] - [54] . To illustrate the basic concepts of representation theorem, consider a symmetric tensor
of rank r with
as its arguments that could be a mix of tensors of rank r or lower. If tensor
belongs to a space, then the space must have a basis, referred to as integrity. It has been shown that for a symmetric tensor
of rank r the basis consists of all possible tensors of rank r that are derived using its arguments
, called the combined generators of the argument tensors. If
,
are the combined generators constituting the basis of the of space of tensor
, then we can represent
by a linear combination of
,
, i.e.
(105)
(106)
in which
are the combined invariants of the argument tensors of
.
Remarks.
1) When
is an antisymmetric tensor of rank r then the same representation theorem concept applies except that in this case the combined generators
will all be antisymmetric tensors of rank r.
2) It has not been shown in references [35] - [54] or elsewhere, to our knowledge, that if
is a non-symmetric tensor of some rank with non-symmetric tensors as its arguments, then the representation theorem holds.
3) Material coefficients are derived from
using Taylor series expansion in the invariants and others (like temperature
) about a known configuration.
4) We use the representation theorem to derive constitutive theories for
,
,
, and
and consider their simplified forms to illustrate the restrictions on the material coefficients.

Let I,
be the combined generators of the argument tensors of

We note that (108) and (109) hold in the current configuration in which the deformation is not yet known, hence
are not material coefficients. To determine or establish material coefficients from (109), we consider Taylor series expansion of each

and
about a known configuration
of the deforming volume of matter and retain only up to linear terms in the invariants and
(for simplicity). Following reference [32] , we can derive

tutive theory for

This constitutive theory requires 14 material coefficients and contains up to fifth degree terms in the components of

are the combined invariants of the argument tensors of
in (116). We can either choose
(119)
or the principal invariants of
, i.e.,

following derivation we consider (119). To derive material coefficients using (118), we expand each

and
about a known configuration
and retain only up to linear terms in the invariants
and
(for simplicity). Following Reference [32] we can derive
(120)
This constitutive theory requires determination of 14 material coefficients, all evaluated in a known configuration
. This constitutive theory is based on integrity. The only assumption is in Taylor series expansion of

) material coefficients. The constitutive theory is also nonlinear in the argument tensors and is based on integrity, the only assumption being Taylor series expansion of

6.8. Constitutive Theory for

We note that
and
are both antisymmetric tensors of rank two and
and
are tensors of rank zero. We have the following invariants for

(122)
Thus, the only non-zero invariants in this case are
and
. These are obviously related.
(123)
Let
be the non-zero combined invariant of the argument ten-
sors of
in (121). The combined generators of the argument tensors of
that are antisymmetric tensors of rank two only include
. Hence, we can write
(124)
(125)
To determine material coefficients in the constitutive theory for
in (124), we expand
in (125) in Taylor series in
and
about a known configuration
and retain only up to linear terms in
and
. Following Reference [32] , we can derive
(126)
This constitutive theory requires three material coefficients,
,
, and
. However, if the
term is neglected then the constitutive theory (126) only requires two material coefficients,
and
. This constitutive theory contains up to cubic terms in the components of the antisymmetric tensor
, hence is a nonlinear constitutive theory in the components of

Alternatively, if we assume

in Taylor series in
and
about a known configuration
and retain only up to linear terms in
and
, we obtain the following [32] :
(132)
in which
(133)
This nonlinear constitutive theory is a complete constitutive theory based on the representation theorem (using (130) and (131)). The only assumption in the constitutive theory is the truncation of the Taylor series beyond linear terms in
and
. Obviously standard Fourier heat conduction law (128) is a subset of (133) when k is the only material coefficient that only depends on temperature
.

terms without loss of generality.
7.1. Constitutive Theory for

and
to conform to standard notation used in fluid mechanics).
(136)
In inequality (136) some trace terms with the material coefficients are always positive whereas the others may be positive or negative. We note that for arbitrary but admissible choice of

(137)
Using (137), we can determine the signs of the terms containing products of the trace terms in (136). To ensure that
always holds regardless of those terms that can be negative, the material coefficients corresponding to these terms must be set to zero so that
always holds for all arbitrary but admissible choices of

(143)
Substituting for
from (120) in (143) (after neglecting the first term and
without loss of generality) the following must hold (redefining
and
to conform with the notations used for the constitutive theory for
).
(144)
In inequality (144) some trace terms with the material coefficients are always positive, whereas the others may be positive or negative, hence the products of such terms are not ensured to be positive. We note that
(145)
Using (145) we can determine the signs of terms continuing products of the trace terms in (144). To ensure that
always holds regardless of those terms that can be negative, the material coefficients corresponding to those terms that can be negative must be set to zero so that
always holds for all arbitrary but admissible choices of

Substituting for
from (126) into (149) (after neglecting the first term and
without loss of generality) the following must hold (redefining
and
).
(150)
We note that
