This volume reviews cutting-edge methodologies in the use of electro- and magneto-sensitive elastomers and polymers. It covers the mathematical and computational aspects of modelling these materials as well as how to control their mechanical properties.

Containing case studies and examples, the book aims to cover extensive research particularly on surface stress and topics related to the variational approach to the subject, and non-standard topics such as the rigorous treatment of constraints and a full discussion of algebraic inequalities associated with realistic material behaviour, and their implications. Serving as an introduction to the basic elements of Finite Elasticity, this textbook is the cornerstone for any graduate-level on the topic, while also providing a template for a host of theories in Solid Mechanics.
