Abstract
The process of mechanical deformation is accompanied or triggered by heating or cooling . The latter phenomenon is associated with the thermal energy in contrast to the purely mechanical energy stored in the deformed material that was considered in the previous chapters. The process of mechanical deformation is accompanied or triggered by heating or cooling . The latter phenomenon is associated with the thermal energy in contrast to the purely mechanical energy stored in the deformed material that was considered in the previous chapters. The coupled theory called continuum thermomechanics or continuum thermodynamics has a long history yet its foundations are still open to debate.

We regard energy, entropy, heat flux, temperature as primitive (non-reducible) objects.
