Abstract
The objective of present day physics is to describe and explain the properties of solid materials, in particular of crystals, on the basis of their atomic structure. In this chapter we will not pursue this aim. The treatment of matter here will be confined to the continuum model. In this model a body consists of a compact continuous set of material points. The boundary of this set of points is called the surface of the body. Frequently it is convenient to consider a body as a material element cut out of the surrounding continuum. The surface then separates the body under consideration from its surroundings.
