stress in solids, liquids and gases and the general equations that characterize the deformation deformation or flow of these materials. the of a physical body without studying its physical cause adjective continuous refers to the simpli- fying concept underlying the analysis: we • balance equations - whats stress? disregard the molecular structure of matter general equations that characterize the cause of and picture it as being without gaps or motion of any body empty spaces. we suppose that all the mathe- matical functions entering the theory are • constitutive equations - how are they related? continuous functions. this hypothetical material specific equations that complement the set continuous material we call a continuum.! of governing equations malvern introduction to the mechanics of a continuous medium [1969] introduction 3 continuum mechanics 4 the potato equations tensor calculus tensor the word tensor was introduced • kinematic equations - why not ?
