Popis:	In continuum physics the dissipation principle, first proposed by Coleman and Noll in 1963, regards second law of thermodynamics as a unilateral differential constraint on the constitutive equations. In 1996, Muschik and Ehrentraut provided a rigorous proof of such an approach under the assumption that, at an arbitrary instant, t0, in an arbitrary point, P0, of a continuous system, the entropy production is zero if, and only if, P0 is in thermodynamic equilibrium. In 2022, Cimmelli and Rogolino incorporated such an assumption in a more general formulation of the second law of thermodynamics. In this paper, we prove that the same conclusions hold if both the fundamental balance laws and their gradients are substituted into the entropy inequality. Such a methodology is applied to analyze the strain-gradient elasticity.
