Abstract:A thermomechanical, polar continuum formulation under finite strains is proposed for anisotropic materials using a multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient. First, the kinematics and conservation laws for three dimensional, polar and non-polar continua are obtained. Next, these kinematics are connected to their corresponding counterparts for surface continua based on Kirchhoff-Love kinematics. Likewise, the conservation laws for Kirchhoff-Love shells are derived from their three dimensional cou… Show more
