From fluid mechanics backgrounds to modern field theory
Our presentation keeps a historical line of reasoning, since we start from old concepts of fluid mechanics and finish on concepts of modern field...

Two Thermodynamic Laws in Phenomenological Mechanics of Continuum: Postulates or Definitions?
The role of the fourth and fifth postulates of continuum mechanics, also known as the first and second laws of thermodynamics, in the axiomatization...

Rock Mechanics and Petroleum Engineering
Rock mechanics has evolved through the social practice of people. Although people have been working with rocks (or soil) for a long time, rock...

Thermo-electrodynamics of conductive media based on the nonlinear viscoelastic Cosserat continuum of a special type
We develop a general nonlinear theory of thermo-electrodynamics. We show that two theories constructed in our previous works, namely the linear...

Non-local criteria for the borehole problem: Gradient Elasticity versus Finite Fracture Mechanics
Two nonlocal approaches are applied to the borehole geometry, herein simply modelled as a circular hole in an infinite elastic medium, subjected to...

Understanding the first-order inhomogeneous linear elasticity through local gauge transformations
It is well known that classical linear elasticity equations are not form-invariant under local transformations. This is intrinsically related to the...
