Mechanics of Generalized Continua comprises of contributions from leading experts from France, Russian Federation, and Germany. The text focuses on recent research such as the application of well-known models to new problems, micro-macro aspects, and more.

This collection on Mechanics of Generalized Continua - from Micromechanical Basics to Engineering Applications brings together leading scientists in this field from France, Russian Federation, and Germany. The attention in this publication is be focussed on the most recent research items, i.e., - new models, - application of well-known models to new problems, - micro-macro aspects, - computational effort, - possibilities to identify the constitutive equations, and - old problems with incorrect or non-satisfying solutions based on the classical continua assumptions.

Discusses new research directions from the point of view of modelling and simulation, experimental identification, and numerical methods Includes many Engineering Applications Presents essential research from leading scientists from France, the Russian Federation, and Germany Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
