Generalized Models and Non-classical Approaches in Complex Materials 2
This book is the 2nd special volume dedicated to the memory of Gérard Maugin. Over 30 leading scientists present their contribution to reflect the...

Structural optimisation of diffusion driven degradation processes
In this article, we propose an optimisation framework that can contribute to the prevention of premature failure or damage to building structures and...

Controlling the Structure and Properties of Metal- and Polymer-Based Composites Fabricated by Combined 3D Methods
The chapter includes three parts. The first one presents the research results on the microstructure and properties of a metal-matrix composite...

Advancements in Continuum Mechanics and Electrodynamics by a spacetime geometric approach
Results achieved by the authors in the course of research activity on continuum mechanics and electrodynamics (CME) during the past twenty years are...

Generalized Models and Non-classical Approaches in Complex Materials 1
This book is the first of 2 special volumes dedicated to the memory of Gérard Maugin. Including 40 papers that reflect his vast field of scientific...

Use and Abuse of the Method of Virtual Power in Generalized Continuum Mechanics and Thermodynamics
The method of virtual power, put forward by Paul Germain and celebrated by Gérard A. Maugin, is used (and abused) in the present work in combination...

On Nonlinear Waves in Media with Complex Properties
In nonlinear theories the axiom of equipresence requires all the effects of the same order to be taken account. In this paper the mathematical...

Contact Temperature as an Internal Variable of Discrete Systems in Non-Equilibrium
State space and entropy rate of a discrete non-equilibrium system are shortly considered including internal variables and the contact temperature....

A Note on Reduced Strain Gradient Elasticity
We discuss the particular class of strain-gradient elastic material models which we called the reduced or degenerated strain-gradient elasticity. For...

Simplest Linear Homogeneous Reduced Gyrocontinuum as an Acoustic Metamaterial
We consider gyrocontinuum, whose each point-body is an infinitesimal rigid body containing inside an axisymmetric rotor, attached to the body but...

N: From “Naghdi P.M.” to “Nowacki W.”
One of the world masters in continuum mechanics from the USA in the second half of the twentieth century, Paul M. Naghdi (1924–1994)—originally from...

F: From “Ferroelectric Crystals (Elasticity of)” to “Fractal Continua”
This entry concerns the continuum mechanics of ferroelectric crystals. This corresponds to the “electric” analogue of micromagnetism as an electric...

C: From “Capillarity” to “Couple Stress (in Medium with Constrained Rotation)”
The original theory of capillarity was developed by Thomas Young (1773–1829) and Pierre Simon de Laplace (1749–1827). It is Laplace who proposed the...
