This book proposes a new general setting for theories of bodies
with microstructure when they are described within the scheme of
the con tinuum: besides the usual fields of classical
thermomechanics (dis placement, stress, temperature, etc.) some new
fields enter the picture (order parameters, microstress, etc.). The
book can be used in a semester course for students who have already
followed lectures on the classical theory of continua and is
intended as an introduction to special topics: materials with
voids, liquid crystals, meromorphic con tinua. In fact, the content
is essentially that of a series of lectures given in 1986 at the
Scuola Estiva di Fisica Matematica in Ravello (Italy). I would like
to thank the Scientific Committee of the Gruppo di Fisica
Matematica of the Italian National Council of Research (CNR) for
the invitation to teach in the School. I also thank the Committee
for Mathematics of CNR and the National Science Foundation: they
have supported my research over many years and given me the
opportunity to study the topics presented in this book, in
particular through a USA-Italy program initiated by Professor
Clifford A. Truesdell. My interest in the field dates back to a
period of collaboration with Paolo Podio-Guidugli and some of the
basic ideas came up during our discussions."
