Abstract
In thermomechanics, the Taylor-Quinney coefficient specifies fraction of plastic work converted to heat. We challenge the nearly century-long interpretation. We postulate that some fraction of energy delivered to the plastically deformed material is responsible for readjustments of deformation pathways making the plastic flow a kinematically admissible process. The rerouting triggers mesoscale dynamic excitations and activates plasticity-induced heat. Another part of the energy is stored in lattice, while the rest of it contributes to the development of dislocation structures. According to this interpretation, plastic work is not converted to heat, but increases probability of the microstructural adaptiveness and, in this manner, contributes to configurational entropy of the system.
