 Dissipation potential (source code)

= Dissipation potential
{title2=$\dot\xi_r=\partial\Omega/\partial f_r$}

A force-dependent potential specifies internal-variable rates by differentiation. Convexity with a minimum at zero force can ensure nonnegative force-rate dissipation. The name alone does not ensure the <Clausius-Duhem inequality> for an arbitrary potential.
