Abstract

A micromorphic continuum formulation is presented in the context of both, the spatial- and the material-motion problem. For bothapproaches the kinematics as well as the balance relations together with the various representations of the occurring stress fields arederived. The relations between the spatial-motion problem and the material-motion problem quantities are examined in detail. Upona hyperelastic constitutive assumption a finite-element approximation is derived and the material–force method, which is especially suitedfor defect-mechanics problems, is successfully applied to the present micromorphic continuum theory.
