SPb. Institute of Problems of Mechanical Engineering of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2006. — 306 c. The collection contains reports of P. A. Zhilina, read by him or his co-authors in different years between 1994 and 2005. at the International Summer School-Conference "Current Problems of Mechanics" . The collection is published in two volumes: the first volume contains articles in Russian, the second in English. In both volumes, the articles are arranged in chronological order. The range of issues discussed is wide. It includes the fundamental laws of mechanics, direct tensor calculation , The dynamics of an absolutely solid body , Nonlinear Core Theory , General Theory of Inelastic Environments , including plasticity, Consolidating Bulk Environments , Phase transitions, as well as piezoelasticity, Ferromagnetism, Electrodynamics and Quantum Mechanics . Collection of articles by P. A. Zhilina is actually a presentation of the method of constructing continuum theories with rotational degrees of freedom necessary for this mathematical apparatus, as well as examples of the use of these theories in describing various physical phenomena. For researchers, graduate students, senior students specializing in mechanics and theoretical physics . Volume 2 (in English)
