In recent work, the mathematical characterization of the fully-coupled, nonlinear, three-dimensional behavior of these materials has been completed through different Thermo-Electro-Magneto-Mechanical (TEMM) processes. One of the energetic functions from these processes was selected as an example and applied to illustrate the use of MPIDs with regards to thermoelastic constitutive modeling. The schematics aid in developing the constitutive relations based on assumptions for particular applications. MPIDs were also shown to relate the energetic functions within thermomechanical processes. A special case of magneto-thermoelastic conditions is used to develop governing equations and proposed for a boundary value problem. With this example, potential directions of the MPIDs can further aid in the development of constitutive modeling for more complex coupled matierals.
