In other words, continua that exhibit more complex behaviour than their conventional counterparts and, in particular, multicomponent systems. It employs gradient theories, exhibiting multiple transition layers described by phase fields. As a point of departure, we account for multiple continuum kinematic processes, including motion and various phase fields. These gradient theories arise by considering various kinematic processes which are tightly linked to the level of the arbitrariness of the Euler?Cauchy cuts. The surface defining the Euler?Cauchy cut may lose its smoothness along a curve, and the curve may also lose its smoothness at a point. Additionally, we postulate the principle of virtual power on surfaces. Then, the first and second laws of thermodynamics with the power balance provide suitable and consistent choices for the constitutive equations. Finally, the complementary balances, namely the balances on surfaces, are tailored to coincide with different parts of the boundaries of the body. These surface balances are then called environmental surface balances and aid in determining suitable and consistent boundary conditions. Ultimately, the environmental surface power balance is relaxed to yield an environmental surface imbalance of powers, rendering a more general type of boundary condition. A detailed introduction sets the scene for the mathematical chapters that follow, ensuring that graduate students and newcomers can profit from the material presented. 606 $aContinuum mechanics 606 $aMathematical physics 606 $aComputer simulation 606 $aThermodynamics 606 $aMaterials science?Data processing 606 $aOptical materials 606 $aContinuum Mechanics 606 $aComputational Physics and Simulations 606 $aThermodynamics 606 $aComputational Materials Science 606 $aOptical Materials 615 0$aContinuum mechanics. 615 0$aMathematical physics. 615 0$aComputer simulation. 615 0$aThermodynamics. 615 0$aMaterials science?Data processing. 615 0$aOptical materials. 615 14$aContinuum Mechanics. 615 24$aComputational Physics and Simulations. 615 24$aThermodynamics. 615 24$aComputational Materials Science. 615 24$aOptical Materials. 676 $a531.7 700 $aEspath$b Luis$01373786 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910734842203321 996 $aMechanics and Geometry of Enriched Continua$93404907 997 $aUNINA
