Abstract
In the present work a variational approach is used to derive a theory of el astic dielectrics with polarization gradient, quadrupole polarization and p olarization inertia. The results (field equations, jump conditions and cons titutive relations) are favorably compared with those of the approach follo wed in part I of this work. Finally, the relation of the present theory wit h existing ones is extensively discussed. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. Al l rights reserved.
