In their 1909 publication Thǒrie des corps df̌ormables, Eugn̈e and Franȯis Cosserat made a historic contribution to materials science by establishing the fundamental principles of the mechanics of generalized continua. The chapters collected in this volume showcase the many areas of continuum mech...
