One of the research direction of Horst Lippmann during his whole scientific career was
devoted to the possibilities to explain complex material behavior by generalized continua …

Acceleration waves in nonlinear thermoelastic micropolar media are considered. We
establish the kinematic and dynamic compatibility relations for a singular surface of order 2 …

This paper introduces an explicit material point method designed specifically for simulating
the micropolar continuum dynamics in the finite deformation and finite microrotation regime …

The effective macroscopic behaviour of most materials depends significantly on the structure
exhibited at the microscopic level. In recent decades, considerable effort has thus been …

In this paper, the coupled linear quasi-static theory of elasticity for porous materials is
considered. The system of equations of this theory is based on the constitutive equations …

In this chapter we discuss the three-dimensional Cosserat-type theories of continua.
Originally this approach belongs to Cosserat brothers, Eugèn and François, who introduced …

Within the framework of the Cosserat continuum, the stability of a compressed circular rod
with a two-layer coating is studied. It is assumed that the coating layers were fixed to each …

A formulation for a porous medium saturated with a compressible fluid undergoing large
elastic and plastic deformations is presented. A consistent thermodynamic formulation is …
