Sommario

In questo lavoro viene formulata una teoria termodinamica dei dielettrici viscoelastici apolari. Nell'ambito di tale teoria viene esaminata la possibilità di descrivere l'effetto Maxwell, ossia il fenomeno della birifrangenza dovuta al moto del continuo. A questo proposito si mostra che il termine proposto da Toupin per tener conto dell'effetto Maxwell non è in contrasto con la seconda legge della Termodinamica.

Summary

In this paper we propose a thermodynamic theory for apolar viscoelastic dielectrics. Within this framework we discuss the possibility of accounting for the Maxwell effect, i.e., the birefringence phenomenon due to the motion of the continuum in study. To this end we show that the proposal made by Toupin, in order to account for the Maxwell effect, does not contrast with the second law of Thermodynamics.
