Preface

Generalized Continua have been in the focus of scientists from the end of the nineteenth century. A first summary was given in 1909 by the Cosserat brothers. After World War II, a true renaissance in this field occurred with the publication of Ericksen and Truesdell in 1958. Further developments were connected with the fundamental contributions of scientists from Germany, Russia, and France. During the past years the centennial of the Cosserat book was celebrated by two colloquia, both held in Paris in 2009. In addition, previous trilateral seminars Mechanics of Generalized Continua—from Micromechanical Basics to Engineering Applications (Wittenberg 2010, 2012) and the CISM Course Generalized Continua—from the Theory to the Engineering Applications (Udine 2011) discussed problems related to the theory and applications. During a new Advanced Seminar (Magdeburg, September 2015), attention was paid to the most recent rese
