In front of you is a small book. It shows the birth of a new physical discipline — mechanothermodynamics. This happened when two small bridges were built. The first one is the Tribo-Fatigue entropy which paved the way from thermodynamics to mechanics. The second one is a fundamental understanding of irreversible damageability of all things that paved the way from mechanics to thermodynamics.
This path and this way mutually ran through dielectical Л-interactions between damages due to loads of different nature (mechanical, thermodynamical, electrochemical, etc.) and characteristic entropy components (thermodynamical, Tribo-Fatigue, chemical, etc.). A mechanothermodynamic system, as a typical and important component of the real world, and its evolution thus become objects of study in natural science and requires a philosophical understanding.
This book presents the formulation of the fundamentals of mechanothermodynamics and analyzes its four principles. The first principle establishes the generalized law of damageability, the second establishes its main cause; the third, its scale; and the fourth characterizes the interrelation of motion, damage, and information.
It is shown that in specific (living) systems the information accumulation in time leads to the emergence of elements of intelligence. A generalized model of energy and entropy states of a mechanothermodynamic medium, which in general is a continuum (liquid, gas) with distributed deformable solids and, hence, with damageable solids, is developed. The generalized theory of A-evolution of systems (by damageability) is outlinedFrom Theoretical Mechanics to Mechanothermodynamics
