Internal Variable Theory

Internal Variable Theory is a theoretical framework in continuum damage mechanics that uses internal state variables to characterize the irreversible thermodynamic processes associated with material degradation, distinguishing itself by explicitly modeling evolving microstructural damage through additional variables not present in classical elasticity or plasticity theories.
