Virtual Power and Pseudobalance Equations for Generalized Continua.-
Hypocontinua.- A Refined Theory of the Layered Medium with the Slip at the Interface.-
Thermoelastic Waves in Microstructured Solids.- From Second Law Violations to
Continuum Mechanics.- Distribution of Temperature in Multicomponent
Multilayered Composites.- A Mixture Theory of Porous Media and some Problems of
Poroelasticity.- Orthotropic Parameters of PU Foam used in Sandwich Panels.- The
Dynamic Modelling of Thin Skeletonal Annular Plates.
This book presents research advances
in the field of Continuous Media with Microstructure and considers the three
complementary pillars of mechanical sciences: theory, research and
computational simulation. It focuses on the following
problems: thermodynamic and mathematical modeling of materials with
extensions of classical constitutive laws, single and multicomponent media
including modern multifunctional materials, wave propagation, multiscale and
multiphysics processes, phase transformations, and porous, granular and
composite materials. The book presents the proceedings of
the 2nd Conference on Continuous Media with Microstructure, which was held in
2015 in Łagów, Poland, in memory of Prof. Krzysztof Wilmański.
