Based on the proceedings of the Sixth International Symposium on [ title] held in Dijon, France, June 1989. Divided by four broad themes complex fluids; deformable solids with microstructure; microstructure, thermodynamics, and geometry; non-linear excitation and coherent structure chapters examine diverse topics such as random dispersions of sedimenting spheres, plasticity of fiber-reinforced materials, geometric methods for Cosserat Media, and structural turbulence.
