Abstract

Following Golebiewska-Lasota and Edelen, a gauge structure existing in the field of the stress and the stress function is demonstrated, on the basis of an electromagnetic analogy given elsewhere. The four-tensors and four-vectors are used to state the set of fundamental equations, and the gauge condition and the gauge transformations are given in a similar way to electromagnetic theory.
