This book is a collection of papers dedicated to Professor Dr.
Krzysztof Wilman 'ski onthe occasionof his 70thbirthday. The
bookcontains25 cont- butions of his friends and colleagues. He met
the invited authors at di?erent
stagesofhisscienti?ccareerofalmost50yearssothatthecontributionscover
a wide range of ?elds stemming from continuum mechanics. This
happened at numerous universities and research institutes where he
both taught and did his excellent research work, e. g. * the
University of Lod ' ' z, Poland, where he studied Civil Engineering
and did his diploma work onElastic-plastic thermal stresses in a
thin ring and where he graduated with his PhD-work in the ?eld of
Continuous Models of Discrete Systems, *
theInstituteofFundamentalTechnologicalResearchofthePolishAcademy of
Sciences in Warsaw, where he got his habilitation in the ?eld Non-
cal Continuum Mechanics and where he was the head of the Research
Group Continuum Thermodynamics. He collaborated with W. Fiszdon, L.
Turski, Cz. Wozniak, H. Zorski and others on the topics axiomatic
and kinetic foundations of continuumthermodynamics, theory of
mixtures, phase transformations in solids, *
theJohnsHopkinsUniversityinBaltimore,US,wherehe workedtogether, e.
g. with C. Truesdell, J. Ericksen and W. Williams, on axiomatic and
kinetic foundations of continuum thermodynamics, * the College of
Engineering, University of Baghdad, Iraq, where he was a Visiting
Professor and taught many courses, *
