Microcontinuum Theories covers the theory and application of micropolar non-classical continuum mechanics (NCCM), in which microconstituents are non-deformable but capable of rotation.NCCM addresses the deformation of continuous matter where classical continuum mechanics (CCM) theories prove inadequate in describing deformation physics. Examples include primitive lattice structures, bar or plate elements in liquid crystals, blood flow, chopped fibers in composites, materials containing microconstituents, and various synthesized materials, as well as slurry flow. Studying the deformation physics of such materials demands more sophisticated and comprehensive continuum theories than those currently employed in classical continuum mechanics (CCT).This book is designed as a graduate-level textbook for a one-semester course in micropolar microcontinuum mechanics, while also serving as an authoritative reference for physicists and engineers specializing in continuum and applied mechanics.

Karan S. Surana received B.E. degree from Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS), Pilani, India in 1965 and M.S and Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin, Madison in 1967 and 1970. He then worked in software industry for 14 years before joining the University of Kansas, Mechanical Engineering in 1984. Currently, he is Deane E. Ackers University Distinguished Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Kansas. He is a fellow and life member of ASME and a member of European Academy of Science and Arts. His area of interest, teaching and research are: classical, nonclassical and microcontinuum theories including constitutive theories as well as continuum theory for additive manufactured materials; computational mathematics and computational mechanics with specialization in finite element methods. He is the author of recently published textbooks: Advanced Mechanics of Continua, CRC/Taylor & France (9780367612962), The Finite Element Method for Boundary Value Problems: Mathematics and Computations, CRC/Taylor & Francis (9781498780506), The Finite Element Method for Initial Value Problems: Mathematics and Computations, CRC/Taylor & Francis (9781498780506), Numerical Methods and Methods of Approximation in Science and Engineering, CRC/Taylor & Francis (9780367136727), and Classical Continuum Mechanics, CRC/Taylor & Francis( 9780367612962)Sri Sai Charan Mathi received his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from The University of Kansas, with a focus on Continuum Mechanics and Computational Mathematics. His work centers on the formulation of thermodynamically and mathematically consistent nonclassical continuum theories. His interests include the systematic development and interpretation of microcontinuum theories for both theoretical understanding and engineering applications.
