This book provides a unified theory on nonlinear electro-magnetomechanical interactions of soft materials capable of large elastic deformations. The authors include an overview of the basic principles of the classic theory of electromagnetism from the fundamental notions of point charges and magnetic dipoles through to distributions of charge and current in a non-deformable continuum, time-dependent electromagnetic fields and Maxwell's equations. They summarize relevant theories of continuum mechanics, required to account for the deformability of material and present a constitutive framework for the nonlinear magneto-and electroelastic interactions in a highly deformable material. The equations contained in the book formulate and solve a variety of representative boundary-value problems for both nonlinear magnetoelasticity and electroelasticity.

Report
From the book reviews:
"This is an excellent book devoted to a unified theory of nonlinear interactions of electroelastic and magnetoelastic fields. The presentation in this book is informative and useful for mathematicians interested in applications of the nonlinear PDE and boundary value problems." (Vladimir Mityushev, zbMATH, Vol. 1291, 2014)
