Topological features have a ubiquitous influence on the behaviour of condensed matter,
from the qualitative analysis of fluids flows to the classification of defects in simple and …

We analyze homothermal acceleration waves in complex materials (those with active
microstructure) in the presence of internal constraints that link the temperature to a manifold …

In this paper we formulate balance principles for an immiscible mixture of continua with
microstructure in the broadest sense to include, eg, diffusion and adsorption phenomena …

Classical arguments predict that the quark and the antiquark of a pair created during string
fragmentation are both transversely polarized in the direction of\hat z\times\vec q_T, where z …

We analyze an extended mechanical model in the conservative case in order to describe a
dilatant granular material with rotating grains for which the kinetic energy, in addition to the …

In this paper we propose a mathematical model of a mixture between a porous material and
a polarized fluid in the mechanics of complex bodies. We use a variational approach to …

The differential system of balance equations for a binary mixture of fluids as the system of a
single fluid, plus that relating to diffusive motion, is used to present constitutive proposals for …

We propose a model describing the evolution of mechanical and permeability properties of
concrete under slow mechanical loading. Calling upon the theory of continua with …
