Generalized mechanical continuum theories and their application in defects and microstructures

Research interests of the Emmy Noether Group are:

• Gauge field theory of dislocations
• Gradient and nonlocal elasticity
• Micromorphic elasticity
• Cosserat elasticity
• Anisotropic elasticity
• Eshelbian mechanics and configurational forces
• Conservation and balance laws
• Symmetries of generalized elasticity
• Dislocation theory
• Dislocation dynamics
• Waves in elastic solids
• Bone growth and remodeling
