One of the research direction of Horst Lippmann during his whole scientific career was
devoted to the possibilities to explain complex material behavior by generalized continua …

We discuss three different ways of defining the strain measures in the non-linear micropolar
continuum:(a) by a direct geometric approach,(b) considering the strain measures as the …

This book systematically discusses the modern theory of propagation and interaction of
elastic waves in solids with microstructure. Mathematical models of solids taking into …

We discuss the general linear six‐parametric theory of plates based on the direct approach.
We consider the plate as a deformable surface. Each material point of the surface can be …

In the recent years new classes of ultra-dispersive and nanocrystalline materials 1–3, which
require a different modern approach than that of a classical continuous media, have been …

We extend the material symmetry group of the non-linear polar-elastic continuum by taking
into account microstructure curvature tensors as well as different transformation properties of …

Grain rotations are a key component of the grain-scale deformation kinematics of granular
materials. For describing the deformation of these materials at large length scales …

Wave processes are observed in any field, where matter moves: in electrodynamics, plasma
physics, optics, acoustics, fluid dynamics, complex two-phase media such as “gas-drip …

This study continues the line of earlier research in mechanical models of electrodynamic
processes suggested in previous works. The basic steps we take to construct these models …

We develop a general nonlinear theory of thermo-electrodynamics. We show that two
theories constructed in our previous works, namely the linear theory of thermo …
