Mechanics of Cosserat media: II. relativistic theory
Abstract
The derivation of the non-relativistic Cosserat equations that was described in Part I of this series of papers is extended from the group of rigid motions in three-dimensional Euclidian space to the Poincar\'e group of four-dimensional Minkowski space. Examples of relativistic Cosserat media are then given in the form of the free Dirac electron and the Weyssenhoff fluid.
