This Special Issue is dedicated to the memory of Jerald LaVerne Ericksen (1924–2021). His pioneering contributions, to the expansive fundamentals-based program of research on the mechanics of materials that took place during the second half of the 20th century, are unprecedented. His ideas have broadly influenced the growth and understanding of nonlinear material behavior within many fields of continuum mechanics, including rheology, nonlinear elasticity, crystalline elasticity, viscoelasticity, plasticity, liquid crystal physics, and thermomechanics.
