Abstract

The purpose of this lecture is to illustrate the appropriateness and potential of the methods of continuum mechanics in modeling modulated structures. Modulations are viewed, in general, as occurrences which may involve one or more properties of a system and extend from a submicroscopic to a macroscopic scale. They are also viewed as capable of possessing wave lengths and amplitudes which may vary from very small to very large values.
