Micropolar (Continuum)
Micropolar (Continuum) : A synonym for the Cosserat continuum (Pujol, 2009). A continuum defined similarly to the micromorphic continuum, but for which only micro-displacements and micro-rotations of the microelements are permitted, but not micro-deformations, i.e. the microelements are taken to be rigid. Each material point is equipped with three degrees of freedom for rigid rotation in addition to the classical translational degrees of freedom (Eringen, 1999)
