The origin of the modern theories of a continuum with microstructure goes back to papers by Ericksen and Truesdell (1958), Mindlin (1964), Eringen and Suhubi (1964) and Green and Rivlin (1964). Green (1965) has established the connection of the theory of multipolar continuum mechanics and the other theories. Much of the theoretical progress in the field is discussed in the books of Kunin (1983), Ciarletta and Iesan (1993) and Eringen (1999). In the theory of micromorphic bodies formulated by Eringen and Suhubi (1964, 1999) the material particle is endowed with three deformable directors and the theory introduces nine extra degrees of freedom over the classical theory. On the basis of the theory of bodies with inner structure, Grot (1969) has established a theory of thermodynamics of elastic bodies with microstructure whose microelements possess microtemperatures. The Clausius–Duhem inequality is modified to include microtemperatures, and the firstorder moment of the energy equations are added to the usual balance laws of a continuum with microstructure. The theory of micromorphic fluids with microtemperatures has been studied in various papers (see, e.g., Koh, 1973; Riha, 1975, 1977; Verma et al., 1979). Riha (1976) has presented a study of heat conduction in materials with microtemperatures. Experimental data for the silicone rubber containing spherical aluminium particles and for human blood were found to conform closely to predicted theoretical thermal conductivity. Manuscript profile
