Mechanics of Generalized Continua One Hundred Years After the Cosser

In their 1909 publication Théorie des corps déformables, Eugène and François Cosserat made a historic contribution to materials science by establishing the fundamental principles of the mechanics of generalized continua. The chapters collected in this vol

Aims and Scope Mechanics and mathematics have been complementary partners since Newton’s time, and the history of science shows much evidence of the beneficial influence of these disciplines on each other. The discipline of mechanics, for this series, includes relevant physical and biological phenomena such as: electromagnetic, thermal, quantum effects, biomechanics, nanomechanics, multiscale modeling, dynamical systems, optimization and control, and computational methods. Driven by increasingly elaborate modern technological applications, the symbiotic relationship between mathematics and mechanics is continually growing. The increasingly large number of specialist journals has generated a complementarity gap between the partners, and this gap continues to widen. Advances in Mechanics and Mathematics is a series dedicated to the publication of the latest developments in the interaction between mechanics and mathematics and intends to bridge the gap by providing interdisciplinary publications in the form of monographs, graduate texts, edited volumes, and a special annual book consisting of invited survey articles.
