Abstract
In the four previous chapters we have given the complete theory of 3M continua, with and without E-M interactions. Balance laws, jump conditions, and nonlinear constitutive equations were obtained, so that the theory is complete and closed. Beginning with Chapter 5 we explore applications of these theories. By means of mathematical solutions and experimental observations, we try to exhibit new physical phenomena predicted by microcontinuum theories. The aim here is not to be exhaustive with the discussion of all problems for this is neither possible nor desirable, as there is a very large volume of literature in the field. It is not desirable since a large number of solutions tend to hide the main purpose, namely, the new physical phenomena that are not in the domain of predictions of classical field theories.
