This chapter is devoted to a review on the underlying physical theory. Besides the basic notions of reference configurations, kinematics, constitutive equations, and balance laws, this part includes mention of the general pressure-density temperature state equation, in particular which arises in low energy nuclear physics and astrophysics. In particular, some examples of non-monotone pressure-density constitutive laws are presented.

Keywords:   field equation, reference configuration, kinematics, constitutive equation, state equation
