This volume is a collection of scholarly contributions dedicated to Krzysztof Wilmański, surveying advances in continuum-mechanics models that incorporate microstructures — both naturally occurring (porous media, composites, heterogeneous materials) and those arising from phase transformations. It covers thermodynamic modeling, extensions of constitutive laws (e.g., with internal variables, higher gradients), wave propagation in microstructured media, multiscale and multiphysics processes, porous and granular materials, and phase-transformation phenomena. The book serves as a reference for researchers and advanced students in mechanics and materials science interested in generalized continuum theories and complex media behavior
