Abstract

The statistical mechanics of dynamical systems on which only isotropic viscous friction forces act is developed. A non-stationary analogue of the Gibbs canonical distribution, which enables each such system to be made to correspond to a certain thermodynamic system that satisfies the first and second laws of thermodynamics, is introduced. The evolution of non-Gibbs probability distributions with time is also considered.
