The Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation for rigid and saturated ferromagnets is derived using a two-continuum model constructed by H.F. Tiersten for elastic and saturated ferromagnets. The relevant basic laws of physics are applied systematically to the two continua or their combination. The exchange interaction is introduced into the model through surface distributed magnetic couples. This leads to a continuum theory with magnetization gradients in the stored energy density. The saturation condition of the magnetization functions as constraints on the energy density and has implications in the constitutive relations.
