What Is Generalized Continuum Mechanics (GCM)?

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Non-Classical Continuum Mechanics

Part of the book series: Advanced Structured Materials ((STRUCTMAT,volume 51))

Abstract

We classify under the title “generalized continuum mechanics” all what is not covered in the restricted framework of the Cauchy model exposed in the prerequisite Chap. 1 under the title of “classical continuum mechanics”.
