Continuous Media with Microstructure 2

Collecting recent progress in Continuous Media with Microstructure, this volume approaches the field through three linked strands: mechanical theory, experimental research, and computer-based simulation. Its chapters cover thermodynamic and mathematical models for materials whose classical constitutive laws have been extended, as well as single-component and multicomponent media, including modern multifunctional materials. Further topics include wave propagation, multiscale and multiphysics processes, phase transformations, and porous, granular and composite materials.

The book is made up of papers presented at the second Conference on Continuous Media with Microstructure, held in Łagów, Poland, in 2015. The meeting was dedicated to the memory of Professor Krzysztof Wilmański.
