Abstract

The balance equations of energy-momentum and spin together with Einstein’s field equations are investigated by the Liu procedure to find constraints for the constitutive equations in such a way that the Second Law is satisfied. Special cases such as spinless systems and curvature insensitive materials are shortly discussed.
