Thermodynamics in solid mechanics: Faulting Mechanicsm

Hi everyone. I have just started my research on faulting mechanism from thermodynamics point of view and energy approach. I would be really grateful if anyone could possibly suggest related books or articles on following topics:

1. Thermodynamics and stable/ unstable (static/dynamics) processes in solid mechanics
2. Thermodynamics in solid mechanics
3. Thermodynamics/ energy approach in studying friction
4. Energy approach in studying Faulting mechanism

Thank you very much.
