RESEARCH ON TRANSPORT AND TRANSFORMATION IN CONTINUA.
Abstract
A summary report is given of research performed over a three year period in the interrelated areas of continuum physics: (1) theory of energy transport and transformation in continuous systems, with emphasis on active-stress mechanisms of chemical to mechanical energy transformation in anisotropic materials (2) field theory as it applied to densities, transport fluxes, transformation rates, and especially the occurrence and symmetry properties of dynamic structure and (3) theory of structured continua, with emphasis on studies of simple precursors of continuous systems and on use of polarization variables to represent internal configuration in constitutive equations.
