A Theory for Electromagnetic Force Formulas in Continuous Media

An energy-based theory for electromagnetic forces in continuous media is presented. The aim is to provide a guide and a complete toolbox for their numerical computation. In an Euclidean space, the electromechanical coupling is shown to be realized by a stress tensor, in terms of which the classical electromagnetic force formulas can be reinterpreted, unified, and generalized
