Introduction to asymmetric continuum: dislocations in solids and extreme phenomena in fluids

We present a new approach to the continuum theories: for solids, our version includes the asymmetric stresses, symmetric strains and antisymmetric rotations, while for fluids we take the similar assumptions but related to the respective time rates of these fields. We consider the constitutive relations and the balance laws: those related to the antisymmetric stresses are equivalent and substitute the required relations for the angular moment; a similar approach with rates of these fields is applied for fluids. The stress-dislocation relations are derived and the role of rotation motions in the fracture processes in solids is studied. A new theory of the extreme motion phenomena in fluids is developed.
