Abstract

The concern of this work is the derivation of material conservation and balance laws for second gradient electroelasticity. The conservation laws of material momentum, material angular momentum and scalar moment of momentum on the material manifold are derived using Noether's theorem and the exact conditions under which they hold are rigorously studied. The corresponding balance laws are also presented.
