Abstract: The various formulations of the maximum recoverable work used in the literature are proved to be equivalent. Then an explicit formula of the minimum free energy is derived, starting from the formulation of the maximum recoverable work given by Day. The resulting expression is equivalent to that found by Golden and other authors. However, the particular formulation allows us to prove that the domain of definition of minimum free energy is the whole state space. Finally, the maximum recoverable work is shown to be put as the basis of the thermodynamics of viscoelastic materials under isothermal conditions. In this context the usual relation between the Clausius-Duhem inequality and the dissipation of the material is restored.
