Résumé : In this work, the Faraday effect is investigated within the frame of continuum mechanics. We use here Maxwell equations, and the momentum balance and internal energy balance equations in the form obtained by G. Mayne and Ph. Boulanger (4). To these equations are added constitutive equations which contain the time derivatives of the deformation, the polarization and the magnetization, in addition to the variables which caracterize the elastic dielectric. By linearizing the equations about an equilibrium state, we study the propagation of electromagnetic and mechanical plane waves in the direction of a constant magnetic field. By this means, we are able to derive the Faraday effect and an analogous one for transverse mechanical waves. © 1973 Dr. Dietrich Steinkopff Verlag.
