Abstract

The notion of the driving traction of Knowles [6] is generalized to account for the interaction of a continuum with electromagnetic fields, and the expression for the generalized driving traction is reduced to that of Abeyaratne and Knowles [15] in the absence of electromagnetic fields. The admissibility condition implied by the second law of thermodynamics is discussed and the results are consistent with those obtained in [23] where a thermoelastic polarizable material undergoing a bulk phase transition is considered.
