Abstract
In this chapter we present a short review of thermodynamic principles and potentials and describe their use in derivation of general thermomechanical conditions and equations, as applied to processes involved in contact. Works on Thermodynamics of Continuua abound, and more specialized applications to contact phenomena can be found in [65,97-99,183] and references therein. We use some notions from convex analysis which will be explained in more detail in Sect. 6.3.
