Cosserat gyro-birefringence. An introduction to nonsymmetrical photoelasticity
Abstract. Mechanical couple stresses modify at a microscopic level optical properties of some materials so they can display gyro-birefringence phenomena. The Optical Cosserat medium is defined and optical rotation tensor relative to couple stress is introduced. The generalized tensor of the dielectric permittivity is written for the Cosserat medium. Split of the plane-polarized light wave on passing through the Cosserat medium is shown and rotation of the azimuth of polarization is expressed by components of the couple stress tensor
Physical interpretation of the Cosserat mechanics for a collection of atoms
In this work, the Cosserat medium is analyzes as a set of atoms. These atoms are under the action of a mechanical load. The statistical analysis is preceded by a description of a single atom using classical mechanics and quantum mechanics. The behavior of the atoms in the field generated by mechanical change of the interatomic distance is shown as a phenomenon which can explain the Cosserat mechanics in a continuum
