A key issue in fluid dynamics is the definition of the phase-space Lagrangian dynamics characterizing prescribed ideal fluids (i.e., continua), which is related to the dynamics of so-called \textit{ideal tracer particles} moving in the same…
The mechanical behaviors of polycrystalline solids are determined by the interplay between phenomena governed by two different thermodynamic temperatures: the configurational effective temperature that controls the density of dislocations,…
