Abstract
All parts of a relaxed solid are in mechanical equilibrium with each other. Let us characterize a point within the solid by a radius vector r with the coordinates (x, y, z) in a Cartesian coordinate system. Under application of external forces the solid gets deformed: it changes its form and the volume.
