Abstract

The internal (or residual) stress is among the key notions to describe the state of the systems far from equilibrium. Such stress is invisible on the macroscopic scale where the system is regarded as a blackbox. Yet nonequilibrium macroscopic operations allow to create and observe the internal stress. We present in this lecture some examples of the internal stress and its operations. We describe the memory effect in some detail, the process in which the history of past operations is recalled through the relaxation of internal stress.
