This work is concerned with (i) the formulation of nonlinear models of electrodeformable continua, essentially of the solid type, but with some slight incursion in the realm of fluid solutions (presenting a deformable solid-like microstructure), and (ii) the applied mathematical study of the numerous effects that arise in this framework. For the basics, it draws heavily on modern "continuum mechanics" (where great care is taken of both geometrical and physical nonlinearities) and the "electrodynamics of continua" cast in this modern framework which allows scietists to deal with electric fields of high intensity.
