Abstract
The underlying concepts of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, and of irreversible thermodynamics, will be described. The question at hand is then, How are these concepts to be realized in computer simulations of many-particle systems? The answer will be given for dissipative deformation processes in solids, on three hierarchical levels: heterogeneous plastic flow, dislocation dynamics, and molecular dynamics. Application to the shock process will be discussed.
