Open AccessA note concerning some aspects for application of a thermodynamic extremal principle (TEP) for continua
A matter of fact is that extremal principles have been introduced in mechanics in more (Euler, Lagrange) or less (Hamilton) than 200 years ago. One may also observe an impact of thermodynamic extremal principl...
