A Mixture Theory for Micropolar Thermoelastic Solids

We derive a nonlinear theory of heat-conducting micropolar mixtures in Lagrangian description. The kinematics, balance laws, and constitutive equations are examined and utilized to develop a nonlinear theory for binary mixtures of micropolar thermoelastic solids. The initial boundary value problem is formulated. Then, the theory is linearized and a uniqueness result is established.
