Description for Nonlocal Continuum Field Theories
Hardback. Presents a unified approach to field theories for elastic solids, viscous fluids, and heat-conducting electromagnetic solids and fluids that include nonlocal effects in both space and time.

Nonlocal continuum field theories are concerned with material bodies whose behavior at any interior point depends on the state of all other points in the body -- rather than only on an effective field resulting from these points -- in addition to its own state and the state of some calculable external field. Nonlocal field theory extends classical field theory by describing the responses of points within the medium by functionals rather than functions (the "constitutive relations" of classical field theory). Such considerations are already well known in solid-state physics, where the nonlocal interactions between the atoms are prevalent in ... Read more

Reviews for Nonlocal Continuum Field Theories
From the reviews: "The volume Nonlocal continuum field theories concentrates on the formulation of nonlocal balance and constitutive equations in the context of mechanics, but also of electromagnetic theory. … it is clear that Eringen’s latest book is a fascinating and stimulating one that should have a dedicated place on the shelf of every researcher ...
