In this paper, we develop a thermodynamically consistent description of the uniaxial behavior of thermovisco-elastoplastic materials for which the total stress $\sigma$ contains, in addition to elastic, viscous and thermic contributions, a plastic component ${\sigma }^p$ of the form ${\sigma }^p(x,t)=𝒫[\epsilon ,\theta (x,t)](x,t)$. Here $\epsilon$ and $\theta$ are the fields of strain and absolute temperature, respectively, and ${\left\{𝒫[·,\theta ]\right\}}_{\theta >0}$ denotes a family of (rate-independent) hysteresis operators of Prandtl-Ishlinskii type, parametrized by the absolute temperature. The system of momentum...
