A new hydro-mechanical model for unsaturated geotechnical materials based on the non-equilibrium thermodynamic theory is presented in this paper. Common concepts, such as yield criterion and flow rules, are not involved in the constitutive relationships, and are replaced with the thermodynamic concepts of granular temperature, granular entropy, migration coefficients, and energy functions. The dissipation system and the migration coefficient relationships are theoretically determined, and the constitutive relations of non-elastic deformation and granular temperature are obtained by dissipation relations and thermodynamic identity. Thus, the relationship between dissipation mechanism and macro mechanical behavior can be established by migration coefficients and energy functions. The model can reflect the complex hydro-mechanical coupling behavior of unsaturated geotechnical materials subjected to various mechanical paths. The validity of the model is verified by comparing the modeling results with experimental data, and reasonable agreement is achieved.

In this paper, we formulate a thermodynamic model of hemoglobin that describes, by a physical point of view, phenomena favoring the binding of oxygen to the protein. Our study is based on theoretical methods extrapolated by experimental data. After some remarks on the non-equilibrium thermodynamic theory with internal variables, some thermodynamic functions are determined by the value of the complex dielectric constant. In previous papers, we determined the explicit expression of a dielectric constant as a function of a complex dielectric modulus and frequency. The knowledge of these functions allows a new characterization of the material and leads to the study of new phenomena that has yet to be studied. In detail, we introduce the concept of “hemoglobe”, a model that considers the hemoglobin molecule as a plane capacitor, the dielectric of which is almost entirely constituted by the quaternary structure of the protein. This model is suggested by considering a phenomenological coefficient of the non-equilibrium thermodynamic theory related to the displacement polarization current. The comparison of the capacity determined by the mean of this coefficient, and determined by geometrical considerations, gives similar results; although more thermodynamic information is derived by the capacity determined considering the aforementioned coefficient. This was applied to the normal human hemoglobin, homozygous sickle hemoglobin, and sickle cell hemoglobin C disease. Moreover, the energy of the capacitor of the three hemoglobin was determined. Through the identification of displacement currents, the introduction of this model presents new perspectives and helps to explain hemoglobin functionality through a physical point of view.
