A continuum theory of elastic material surfaces

TL;DR: In this paper, a mathematical framework is developed to study the mechanical behavior of material surfaces, and the tensorial nature of surface stress is established using the force and moment balance laws using a linear theory with non-vanishing residual stress.

General Relativity with Spin and Torsion: Foundations and Prospects

TL;DR: In this article, a generalization of Einstein's gravitational theory is discussed in which the spin of matter as well as its mass plays a dynamical role, and the theory which emerges from taking this coupling into account, the ${U}_{4}$ theory of gravitation, predicts, in addition to the usual infinite-range gravitational interaction medicated by the metric field, a new, very weak, spin contact interaction of gravitational origin.

The Thermodynamics of Elastic Materials with Heat Conduction and Viscosity

TL;DR: The basic physical concepts of classical continuum mechanics are body, configuration of a body, and force system acting on a body as mentioned in this paper, which can be expressed as follows: a body is regarded as a smooth manifold whose elements are the material points; a configuration is defined as a mapping of the body into a three-dimensional Euclidean space, and a force system is defined to be a vector-valued function defined for pairs of bodies.
